Who is the Modern Gadfly?

I would have to say that Michael Moore matches the description of a modern day gadfly more than anyone else that I can think of. Much like Socrates during his time, Michael Moore persistently attempts to approach our leaders of corporate America and the government in order to make them admit that they've done something wrong or that their beliefs and foundation aren't too stable. I think what truly makes Michael Moore a modern gadfly is the fact that he is presenting his opponents with valid arguments and becomes irritating to the point where he actually becomes an important person in the category of anti-status quo personalities. If Moore was even the slightest less pressing than he is, this nation probably wouldn't really even know who he is. He decided to focus on key issues in America, carefully analyze and understand them, then ask his opponents why they made certain decisions. In all of his films, Michael Moore makes it a point to personally attempt to dig up truth from the  leaders that he believes have made poor decisions that have negatively affected America. Other than producing films, Moore has voiced his opinions on news shows, including Fox News. In 2006, he and Bill O'Reily spoke about 9/11 and former President Bush's actions. I believe that Michael Moore stands behind everything he believes in, and is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to find truth in pivotal issues. In Athens, Socrates approached leaders and questioned their beliefs and ideology. I feel that no one today has done this more than Michael Moore.
