Farenheit 9/11 -- proof positive there is no liberal media bias
People can debate the accuracy of Michael Moore's film all they want, but there ought to be a concensus on one thing -- it's unlike anything people are likely to see on network or cable news.

And if Hollywood really was as liberal as Republicans claim, then why is it that Disney disowned a film that was guaranteed to be profitable?

This combined with the week long Reagan orgasm should squash that liberal media bias myth forever..... sadly it won't.

3. Well, I say that its time that there was a liberal media bias.
That would be as it should be.

5. And why hasn't one CNNMSNBCCBSABC interviewer non-confrontationally
Edited on Mon Jun-28-04 02:10 PM by AP
interviewed him yet?

You'd think -- law of averages -- he would have gotten ONE non-confrontational interview. Every interview I've seen has been hostile or uninformed or both.

So far, 60 Mins seems to have gotten the point of Moore's movie across, but in a backwards way. They asked him confrontational questions, but not hostily, and the answers all were enough to rebut the implicit denials in the questions, which gave the impression that the producer and editior knew they didn't want to appear to be approving Moore's movie, but still wanted to leave the viewer with the impression that Moore might be right.

Other than 60 Min, every interview I've seen gives the appearance the media is in total denial over the underlying message in F911. If they were liberal, they wouldn't be in such a state of denial and confusion and hostility.

6. Wow! Some day you'll even discover that there is a right wing bias!
Hopefully by then, we'll have some laws & outlets in place.
