disney vs. michael moore

May 5, 2004 in General | 4 comments

Everyone’s favorite company, Disney, has decided to block Miramax from distributing Michael Moore’s new film Fahrenheit 911. The New York Times has the story. Moore’s response is here.

I guess the best way to keep an unpopular president in office is to block all media that might portray him in a negative light. That sure seems like the plan.

    Now that the Times has carried the story, what will happen is it will backlash on Bush and Disney. Moore accomplished more this way, I think.

    Argh. I MUST see this movie… Which is probably what lots of other people will be thinking after this story is picked up by all the other news outlets. Miramax should just find another distributer and realease the movie while the press is hot- I’m sure the increased interest will make up for whatever losses they will suffer from having to share more of the profits.

    It’s not uncommon for corporations to refuse to sponsor hate speech. Look at this objectively

    Michael Moore is every bit as objective and truthful with facts as Limbaugh and Colter. He is as credible as Bush.

    The left doesn’t need someone like that.
