Why Don't ABC CBS NBC Pre Empt Prime Time and Show F 9-11?

Two nights before the election?

Then they can "invite" Bush on to a panel show afterwards to discuss it.

That's fair, no?

1. Ah, because they are owned by large corporations which make $$ on war

sorta like Moore mentioned in F9-11?

4. I was discouraged by MM

having his pre election show on pay per view. I'm not so sure that he is just more interested in the $$$$.

5. Regular channels probably wouldn't carry it

and the cable companies probably wanted to make some $$ off it.

6. Michael Moore does not "own" the movie.

By allowing it on TV at all, he's forfeiting consideration for the "Best Documentary" Oscar.

Buck up.

8. Moore, in Tucson Monday night, mentioned that he didn't really like

copyright laws at present and advised those who buy F9-11 to "burn, baby, burn" copies to give to everyone they could.

Havocpup said it was a well received recommendation there at McKale Center.

Yes, the networks, the ones who make $$ using the PUBLIC'S airways, will not show F9-11 and the Cable channels do insist on making money. It is NOT Moore demanding Pay Per View. It is just the only way to get in on TV with the current market/ownership situation.

3. how about

Then they can "invite" Bush on to a panel show afterwards to discuss it

they can invite the president to have a debate with Michael Moore.. then it would be equal time since the pres was allowed to respond.

9. If Sinclair goes ahead then, yeah, it's fair.

Now, make it happen.
