WATCH: Olbermann, Moore Confront Guy Sent By Big Insurance to Discredit 'Sicko'

Last night on Countdown, Michael Moore got an interesting opportunity to talk with Wendell Potter, a man who by his own confession was sent by the "industry" to "push Moore off a cliff."

Watch the fascinating confrontation below, parts I and II, and read Alternet's rundown of Potter's explosive allegations here.

Outstanding!

1. I would not call it a "confrontation"
I watched it yesterday.

2. NOT CONFRONTATION.

Wendell Potter voluntarily became a whistle-blower.

Shame on you for the distortion.

4. I didn't distort anything!
Good ole DU. Still alive with the shame tactics.

That's the title of the ARTICLE. I didn't write the title of the ARTICLE. You have a beef, it's with alternet.com.
I actually WATCHED both segments, and certainly know Potter acted voluntarily, and I never said otherwise!

How does it feel to lash out at someone else when it is actually yourself who cut corners?

6. My apology.
I had seen the video (more than once), therefore did not go to the link.

Something I learned sometime ago, is to put others' words in quotes so that they do not seem like my own.

5. PS!!!

I did NOT write the title to the article. alternet.com wrote it. Jumping on me is a rather silly reaction given the circumstances.
