CNN trashes Michael Moore, Michael Moore calls them on it
Wow. Moore is really fucking pissed here. You should really click through and watch the video. He calls out Blitzer as totally failing the American people.
Watch Wolf Blitzer equivocate and say "This is a business." Gah, he makes me sick.
I have always noticed that Michael Moore only receives one kind of coverage from the mainstream media: the bad kind. Every time one of his films comes out, from Bowling for Columbine, to Fahrenheit 9/11 and now Sicko, they have been on a quest to "debunk" them. Why? Because one of the themes that has run consistently throughout them is a contempt for the mainstream media's laziness and complicit role in many American atrocities and problems. He has, as he points out in this fantastic (and live) broadside he delivers to the archetypal cable news tool, Wolf Blitzer, been ahead of the curve on Walter Reed, the War in Iraq, gun violence, and a host of other issues and all these networks and talking heads can do is try to pick apart his work to "expose" how he's somehow "fudged the facts", always ignoring how incredibly right he has been and continues to be about our American condition. We all love to see Wolf Blitzer (who tirelessly defends CNN medical "expert" Sanjay Gupta) taken down a peg, but the video to your right is something righteous to behold.
