Watch a SAD Michael Moore having to go to CANADA to find real media.
Because he had to try to get true feedback from real interviewers. He comments about his interview with stupid Lauer... it is kind of depressing, but nice to hear him talking to a person not a RW memo regurgitator.

2. And a big ol' kick from California.
Matt Lauer's interview was nothing short of hostile and he should be ashamed to call himself an anchorman - they should have let Katie do the interview.

16. Matt Lauer is an
ass. Former cokehead as well. He asks the worst questions.

3. Sad, yes, but also fried
When he was on Letterman last night, it was strange to see him so on edge and basically fried. I can't imagine what this whole ordeal has been like for him.

Notice at the end of Letterman's interview, where Dave says, meaningfully, "Take care..." and MM replies, "I WILL...."

One wonders what kind of threats he's been living under, and for how long.

8. I can't even imagine.
He's got to have a security detail. He's had to put together a "War Room" just to combat the hostility thrown at him for making this film. His website has been continually hacked.

And you would just think that eventually the MORANS in this country would ask themselves... why are all these people afraid of one little film? What's it all about? People who haven't even SEEN the damn movie have been trying to give their opinion on the film. It's ludicrous! I swear, this type of bullshit makes me ashamed to be an American.

The Right Wing deserves to choke on its own wretched vomit and I eagerly await Bush's defeat this fall.

5. It is incomprehensible that he has to come to Canada to ....
get a break from threats and harassment for simply making a documentary that tells the truth. It is scary times for US citizens, I fear.

6. He's right. The American media is in bed with Bush.
This is why we need the Fairness Doctrine back. This is why we need a truly independent mainstream media source free from corporate ownership.

Kudos to Mike Moore for telling it like it is. Some may dislike his style or feel as if he's a self-promoting propagandist, but the man is doing this country a service by getting this film out there.

This is for those of you who, like me, are still living in the dark ages of the dialup modem.

It was very disturbing to hear the frustration and sadness he is feeling. MM is so honest about our media and the control * has along with his fellow neocons. They are trying everything to keep this movie from being aired, attacking MM in every possible way. I am so sick of it, it never ends - he is one of the few that has the guts to take * on and I fear for his safety.

Let's keep emailing the theaters demanding they show this movie. We are living in dangerous times - I just wonder what will happen next.

12. Right! I was surprised that Regal will show this in E. TN.
I need to send them an email thanking them. I will be there on the 25th.

13. I called my local theater and asked if it was
a definite show. They said absolutely, it will air, just waiting to find out the ratings. I thanked him stating many theaters were refusing to show due to outside pressure and he assured me it will air in Raleigh on the 25th.

I am so angry at these other places for, yet again, buckling when * and his powerful ilk throw a temper tantrum.

15. I almost
started crying. I hope he's ready for the challenges he is about to face. I'm sure he knows we are all behind him.
