NEW YORK - The cable pay-per-view company iN DEMAND has backed away from a plan to show a three-hour election eve special with filmmaker Michael Moore that included the first television showing of his documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."

The company said Friday it would not air "The Michael Moore Pre-Election Special" due to "legitimate business and legal concerns." A spokesman would not elaborate.

Earlier this week, trade publications said Moore was close to a deal with iN DEMAND for the special, which would also include interviews with politically-active celebrities and admonitions to vote. The Nov. 1 special was to be available for $9.95.

The New York-based iN DEMAND, owned by the Time Warner, Cox and Comcast cable companies, makes pay-per-view programming available in 28 million homes, or about one-quarter of the nation's homes with television.

3. Its time for Moore to make this movie free to anybody...

or the RW wackos are going to win this one.

They plan to fight dirty and his movie is one weapon that can used to counter Sinclair's and the rest of the assholes on the right who plan on pulling every stunt in the book

IMHO

4. He says in F-911 that AOL-TIME WARNER are right wing.

This does not surprise me. But what does surprise me is that no major network or cable outlet realizes how much fucking money they can make by airing F-9-11. What a bunch of fucking idiots.
