NY Daily News gossip: Did WH pressure Larry King to keep Moore off show?

[DeepModem Mom]

Sounds like that direct line between the WH and CNN is still open:


Could King be Moore afraid of Prez?

Did Larry King chicken out of an interview with Michael Moore? King's CNN producers were negotiating to have the "Fahrenheit 9/11" director appear on the prime-time talk show. They even told Moore's camp they wanted a White House rep on the show to rebut anti-Bush points made in the documentary about the superheated U.S. climate after the 9/11 attacks.
Then Moore's people never heard from King's people again.

Did the White House pressure King or his producers to keep Moore off?

King's spokeswoman said she would speak with people on the show and call us back. She didn't....

CNN spokesman Matt Furman told us: "We don't get into the details of our bookings, but we were considering Moore. His not coming on had nothing to do with the White House. We'd love to have him on someday."

Before the election?

4. Let me see....Super CROOK Ken Lay was on but not Moore?

I'd love to get Moore's real low down on this. Sounds like kowtowing to the Chimp WH by King and CNN to me.
