Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11
telstar writes "According to Michael Moore's website, he plans to forgoe the nomination for Best Documentary in an effort to get his highly controversial movie Farenheit 9/11 on television. Despite having no assurances from the home video distributor, Moore hopes to air the film prior to the November elections ... suggesting the eve of the elections as a potential air date. Considering how many questions have been raised as to whether Moore's movie presents truth or propaganda, one has to wonder whether airing such a controvercial movie on the eve of an election helps or hurts the political process by influencing the vote with last-minute emotions rather than thoroughly contemplation."

Indeed I find it a source of much amusement when Kerry is described as a Liberal - by any normal perspective he's alarmingly far to the right.

Reminds me of the old joke my (UK) economics lecturer started American Politics 101 with. "The USA has a two party system. There's the Republican party - which is roughly the equivalent of our Conservative party, and the Democratic party - which is roughly the equivalent of our Conservative party.
FOX is no more slanted to the right than CNN is to the left. Take off your political blinders and see for yourself. (By the way, it's a little known fact that ratings for FOX were higher than both MSNBC and CNN during the DEMOCRATIC National Convention.)
