FOX News is running ads for Moore's film during Fox and Friends
I guess the almighty advertising revenue dollar still is king over there.

FReepers must have tossed their breakfast when they saw those running.

3. Well, imagine the publicity if the ad broker had gone to FOX & got a NO!
Moore's whole approach is brilliant - folks have to accept his movie - if not, then the 1st Amendment violations are obvious.

4. Exactly....
They can't say no. Actually, about Fox, their online movie reviewer gave the film a surprisingly good review.

5. I LOVE the Ten Years After song in the commercial
"I'd love to change the world"

It gives the ad a real feel, a real gravitas if you will.
