Michael Moore vs. ABC
Michael Moore uses FACTS and actual film footage.

ABC just makes shit up.

Michael Moore doesn't have the electronic reach that ABC has and so the American people are that much more stupid when it comes to being knowledgeable about the actions of their government.

ABC should have their license revoked by the FCC.

2. Then Contact The FCC and Tell Them What You Think
Won't do much good telling me, probably won't do much good (now) telling them either, but some day .....

Remember when Fox News was sued for repeating false information and the US Supreme court ruled that "News" Networks weren't required by law to tell the truth? :shrug:

4. Doesn't this fall under the 1st amendment?
Advocating censorship is not a trait of either the Democratic Party or the American people.

6. Get a grip
This is libel. There is a huge difference.

ABC will be sued for the same reason Michael Moore wasn't.

5. How about the fact that MM is an openly partisan
political activist/filmmaker. Not a mainstream tv network claiming to be an unbiased conveyer of facts.
