I just now got around to having a look at this. I went for the youtube clip, so as not to be influenced by what Tchocky thought was a biased account.
It is hard to say what set Mike off. Perhaps he thought he was in friendly territory appearing on CNN, he's never been on FNC. Looking at his face, when Wolf goes to him, he seems bewildered, perhaps even shocked. Maybe Blitzer's use of the term 'reality check' is what did it. I don't know, but he was upset and there is no doubt about that.
For him to have to go on the air and listen to that kind of 'crap'? I thought that the report from the good doctor, what's his name, wasn't over the top. It merely pointed to some other facts which may have been left out of the movie. Is Michael Moore beyond being challenged? I always want to know more when someone doesn't want to be callenged. I instinctively react against teir argument because they think themselves beyond the give and take which allows people to come to an informed decision.
Blitzer was also taken back by Moore's reaction. This three year thing? He is very self important isn't he?
There may be other things but these are my initial thoughts.
Thanks for linking me fellas.
PS I said this on page one of this thread:

I don't have too much of a problem with Mike. His 'documentaries' take a little of this and a little of that, run it through the edit machine and call it truth. I think his efforts open a discussion and that is good, regardless the subterfuge used.

But I guess if Mike Moore has said it no more discussion is allowed. That strikes me as being very wrong.
