I guess Michael Moore put the smackdown on Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Larry King?

Yea that was great. He came off a bit OTT but really I'm tired of only right wing extremists being the only passionate people on TV.

Or, start somewhere neutral, with the original interview.

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.

Here is an interesting twist.

THE SICKO DOCUMENTARY IS BANNED IN CUBA
Havana, August 6, 2007.-There is no doubt that the Cuban authorities will not allow the Cuban people the possibility of watching this documentary by Michael Moore, a leading movie producer and ideological ally of the Cuban regime.

Although it might look contradictory, the propaganda used in the film to discredit the USA health system while trying to highlight the excellence of the Cuban health system, turned out to be considered “subversive” by the Cuban regime. It so happens that he based his arguments on gross lies that do not represent at all the Cuban health drama.

What about North Korea? ;)
