Let Disney Know You’re Pissed About Michael Moore’s Film
UPDATE:
Turns out, according to The Independent, Moore knew a year ago Disney had no intention of distributing the film, and apparently he won’t have any trouble distributing it. Just more Moore manipulation. Hmm. I’ve been had. Wasted moral outrage. Prick.
Original post:
I’m not a big fan of Michael Moore. I thought Bowling for Columbine was grossly manipulative and bad journalism and bad story telling. I think he’s a bully, a buffoon and a dishonest and regrettable poster child for the liberal political movement. I thought this February New Yorker profile of him pretty much nailed it.
That said, I’m outraged by Disney’s political censoring of his latest film (NYT | NPR), most-ironically (in light of these latest events) titled Fahrenheit 9/11. It’s totally inexcusable, and I really hope Disney gets the message from thousands, if not millions of Americans that we won’t tolerate political censorship from our media companies.
MoveOn.org has sent out an appeal to subscribers asking them to call Disney with your opinion:
We can’t let corporate favors for politicians dictate what movies we see. Tell Disney to show us Michael Moore’s documentary:

it’s interesting that we hear so much from the media about no one wanting to distribute Moore’s film.
where was all the outrage when no one would distribute Mel Gibson’s The Passion?
Mel stood up and financed it himself - to the tune of approx. 25% of his net worth.
why doesn’t Moore do the same, if he believes in his work?
