CNN terminated Michael Moore interview.
Question was "What about movie viewers who panned the movie?" or something similar. Moore replied "Broke box office records, viewers were pumped up." Then the interviewer started talking over Moore's comment about CNN video reports are often "inaccurate" and CNN cut off the interview.



Too cool! Nail 'em good Michael!

2. The big red kill switch in the sky was used another
time recently. I forget the exact circumstances, but the interviewer said "Hold on, I've got something in my ear", and they cut to a live senate debate about absolutely nothing, and treated it as a big news flash. Pretty transparent.

These bozoes can't stand to hear anything that isn't the "Official Corporate Line", as dictated by Unkle KKKarl Rover. (Here, Rover. Sit. Beg. Lay down)

4. I don't know if this is the same occurance,
but I was watching American Morning when Bill Hemmer was interviewing the director, IIRC, of the movie based on the vast right wing conspiracy against Clinton. Solodad cut in for something from the 9/11 commission that had been reported 100 times before. Typical CNN.

8. Harry Thomason
Later that same day there were "audio problems" that kept him from appearing on another show. (Susan MacDougall did appear on that one, however.)

9. Yes, I am now convinced CNN is worse than Faux
They fool more people, but in their own more subtle way, they are Faux's equal in EVERY WAY SHAPE AND FORM!

6. I saw part of the interview

before they cut him off (didn't see that)

and the CNN woman kept trying to talk over him and he kept grinning and looking into the camera as if to say - see, see how the media does? and he asked her to let him finish and she would not. she seemed angry. at that point I turned away.

7. Different interview, I think
Kagan pretty much let him speak, except didn;t allow him to finsih a thought, Instead, she insisted on "showing a clip"--which was a way, of course, of derailing his argument.

13. He Obviously
Doesn't know how to play ball properly.

Bottom line is, the corporo-fascist media gets pissed when someone besides them decides what constitutes "news". I remember the march for women's lives on April 25, we flew all the way from the west coast to DC, and I saw with my own eyes well over a million people there. One would think that was "News", right? Well, "liberal" CNN (ha!), in particular, seemed very pissy about the fact that over a million news consumers (you're supposed to EAT it! Not MAKE it!) could willfully disrupt the cycle and bump Kobe or Jacko or whatever the )_$*(@*( off the tv for 10 minutes. So they lowballed the numbers, and then they gave over a half an hour (repeated several times) that very day to some "special" on the "Nascar Voter", who, obviously, "loves George Bush".. Yeah.. All those guys had to do to get a prime spot on the news was eat a friggin hot dog and a beer while screaming at some cars. (If only the 1,200,000 pro-choice marchers had known, maybe we would have marched at a frikkin Nascar race) and Estee Lauder died, which obviously merited round-the-clock coverage. oh, yeah, ...andsomepeopleprotestedindc. back to you.

Assholes.

15. When they cut Moore off
the goofballs said they'd get him back later. Maybe that's what you saw. My room mate watches "The W Show" before he leaves for work, and sometimes I catch a few minutes. I detest CNN and turned it off right after they axed Moore.

10. This movie is such an incrimination of the news media.
I don't even know why they have him on.

These media whores, each trying to out-faux fox, don't deserve your time.

12. Hmmm and I thought it was the evil Muslims that wanted to convert
the world. That is what we are being force fed anyway. The Muslims want to take over America so we have to go kill them in their own country instead of fight them here.
