Time Warner pays for Micheal Moore's outsourced site.
Repubs have been raising a fuss today about Micheal Moore's website been done by a Canadian firm. Well Lou Dobbs ended that myth today, he called Moore an outspoken advocate for worker's rights and said that Time Warner who distributes Moore's films and books pays for the sight and Moore had no part in the decision to hire the firm.

Moore's only crime actually using the website.

So rest easy folks, Moore is not an outsourcing jerk.

2. It's cool that Lou Dobbs cleared that up. Besides, the problem

It's cool that Lou Dobbs cleared that up.

Besides, the problem with outsoucing is forcing Americans to compete with people in a different, low-wage economy, not a similar economy like Canada's.

Also, being a customer for a service and choosing a foreign company isn't the same as being a manager and replacing employees.

3. I would rather outsource to Canada than to China
At least Canada cares about workers' rights.

Hey, Canadians, can you give dumbya* The Talk?:)

4. Of course, NO clarification on Drudge's part...
That's right, Drudge. Here's the main difference between you and a professional journalistic outlet...THEY ACTUALLY CLARIFY AND RETRACT when they are caught lying or mistaken.

F'n whores.

5. Those are just silly little "facts"
I doubt that it will stop Drudge and the freeps from moaning on and on about this non-issue.
