"Sanjay Gupta is lying" says Michael Moore!

[wildbilln864]

On Larry King now! King keeps cutting Moore off and trying to change the subject after Gupta makes his statements! This should be an interesting show for a change!

[H2O Man]

1. Moore nailed him.

He really nailed him and CNN. Outstanding.

[mchill]

2. King is so obviously giving the doctor more airtime

but Moore is defeating Gupta with the facts.

[H2O Man]

5. Larry is not

able to even feign objectivity.

[diamidue]

37. I remember when Larry King hosted a presidential debate

& pretty much sneered at Kucinich, calling him a "socialist". Larry undoubtedly loathes the idea of "socialized" medicine. I was very frustrated with his uneven interview with MM.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

3. It really sucks I won't be watching this. TV time reserved for something else tonight. I'd love to

see a thread recounting this, especially since King is such a piss poor moderator. MKJ

[snappyturtle]

4. Thanks.....we get it later here...n/t

[brettdale]

6. If King cuts off Moore

I hope Moore calls him on it.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

7. Larry needs to retire.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

8. Does anyone know if Dr. Gupta has EVER mentioned FACTS

that deal with the following, has he ever once mentioned that dietary supplements can have a protective effect against illness or even a treatment in many cases?? I have never heard him say so, and for that he should apologize.

Experimental studies in animals have shown that diets lacking omega 3 PUFA lead to substantial disturbances in neural function, which in most circumstances can be restored by the inclusion of omega 3 PUFA in the diet. In the past 10 years there has been an emerging interest in treating neuropsychological disorders (depression and schizophrenia) with omega 3 PUFA. This paper discusses the clinical studies conducted in the area of depression and omega 3 PUFA and the possible mechanisms of action of these PUFA. It is clear from the literature that DHA is involved in a variety of processes in neural cells and that its role is far more complex than simply influencing cell membrane properties.

19. What is PUFA?

I just can't keep up.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

25. Poly unsaturated fatty acid. They are pretty much what your

brain runs on and quite often in America we don't get a whole lot of them... AND if you have a genetic flaw that limits your ability to convert short chain fatty acids into long chain fatty acids.... well then, Katie bar the door.

28. My brain runs on fat? But not chocolate?

Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

29. Oooooooohhhhhh..... yes, chocolate good, homogenized fats

bad... very very bad.

EVIDENCE: Published literature and data presented at scientific meetings were reviewed. Specific disorders reviewed included major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, borderline personality disorder and impulsivity, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Meta-analyses were conducted in major depressive and bipolar disorders and schizophrenia, as sufficient data were available to conduct such analyses in these areas of interest. CONSENSUS PROCESS: The subcommittee prepared the manuscript, which was reviewed and approved by the following APA committees: the Committee on Research on Psychiatric Treatments, the Council on Research, and the Joint Reference Committee. CONCLUSIONS: The preponderance of epidemiologic and tissue compositional studies supports a protective effect of omega-3 EFA intake, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in mood disorders.

9. Sanjay called health care a "commodity"

I don't consider people's LIVES and WELL BEING to be a "commidty".....does anyone here?

[malaise]

16. a precious commodity to boot

what a hack.

[TahitiNut]

26. Treating human labor (even medical care) as a commodity is both illegal and immoral.

It's about damned time these people get kicked in the teeth when they do that.

[DeSwiss]

33. I don't know of any other profession in the "commodities"....

...whose ethical code is "first do no harm."

com·mod·i·ty Pronunciation –noun, plural -ties.

1. an article of trade or commerce, esp. a product as distinguished from a service.
2. something of use, advantage, or value.
3. Stock Exchange. any unprocessed or partially processed good, as grain, fruits, and vegetables, or precious metals.
4. Obsolete. a quantity of goods.

41. WTF?

This guy is supposed to be a doctor?

Mr. Embedded Reporter has no claim to objectivity.

[Dukkha]

10. Larry is the worst interviewer ever.

This is the a-hole who bumped Moore so he could have Paris Hilton. I saw his interview with Paul, Ringo, Yoko, and Olivia it was so embarrassing how oblivious he is.

[Peregrine Took]

11. Gupta keeps grinning in self-satisfaction. Ugh!

[Bluebear]

12. Smug little shit ain't he? nt

[goclark]

17. I can't watch, I've lost all respect for the Dr. Shill

Please say that MM set him straight.

[Sparkly]

13. "Okay guys, keep your answers short."

Then he lets Gupta go on and on and on and on, making several accusations on two totally different points.

Then to Moore: "Well? GO AHEAD!!!"

:eyes:

He had to be thinking, where to start? Or, what was the first accusation again?

[wildbilln864]

15. Yes we saw that shit too!

Soory ass excuse for a moderator! :grr:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. Disgusting when Mike was trying to catch his thoughts before speaking, King talked

about Mike being speechless for once. King makes me want to :puke:

[IChing]

20. King Do you think you overreacted to Sanjey's piece?

what a bunch of crap

[tridim]

18. My only question, who are Gupta's corporate sponsors?

Because if he was just a "doctor" he wouldn't be trying so hard to muddle the facts. It's pointless, UNLESS he's being paid by people who stand to lose profits when Mike speaks the truth.

[goclark]

21. Michael has the Truth on his side

I bet the Pill Pushers are crying in their money bags tonight.

[mchill]

23. Gupta lost all credibility on his expert witness

" a Republican contributor with ties to Blue Cross" ......wow, seeing Gupta's true colors for the first time.

[rusty charly]

31. my quick googling:

[WilliamPitt]

22. Watch CNN for a while

Note the commercials for pills, treatments, pills, pills, aspirin and pills.

Those are his sponsors.

AOL/TimeWarner's sponsors, too.

Hmm...

Wonder why they're so worried about Moore...?

[Crunchy Frog]

34. I'd at least like to see what's in his stock portfolio. n/t

[0007]

24. Larry King is a joke and certainly shows his bias as he won't

give Michael Moore time to defend himself.

Gupta is a quack and King is a Hack. Fuck 'em both.

[PA Democrat]

27. I love how once they realized that Michael Moore could back up his stats,

Larry then asks if Moore wasn't perhaps "overreacting" to Gupta's piece.

Nice try, Larry. But Gupta claimed Moore was "fudging" his facts. Fudge is defined as "to fake or falsify." Sorry Larry, but Moore had credible, CURRENT sources for his facts, and to imply that he faked them is insulting.

[lovuian]

39. CNN was clearly on the Defensive bringing in the troops

like Lou Dobbs and Larry King

[partylessinOhio]

30. That POS doctor is too condescending! I would refuse to appear on

the same continent with him.

:thumbsdown:

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. Did you notice not Larry King OR Gupta had the balls to read Michael's web site post

correcting Gupta? They didn't even mention it! That was nothing but another hit piece on Moore. THEN, did you notice the 2 "Medical" commercials that ran during that segment with Gupta, the liar and Moore? The AMA and a Cialis commercial that runs every 10 freakin' minutes on CNN ran during that show.:grr: My G-d that was an awful display of bias on Larry King's part.:grr:

[Corgigal]

35. yes, actually I did

I turned to my husband after watching this ratings ploy and said, I hope Michael is not checking with attorneys. Sue Dr. Gupta but give his share to a free clinic.

That would some nice karma.

[jean]

36. Michael was on the Daily Show tonight and said CNN was supposed to have him on for the whole hour

At the end of his chat with Jon, Michael said of Larry King, "Bastard!"

[MessiahRp]

40. Actually I think that was a re-run.

Strangely enough when that was taped a couple weeks back Moore was scheduled for the full hour with King when he got bumped for the Paris Hilton exclusive interview he did when she got out of jail.

Rp

[jean]

44. thanks for clarifying

:blush: my bad

[Lord Helmet]

38. Sanjaya?

[me b zola]

42. Dr Gupta, the Sanjaya of "medical journalism", or Dr Sanjaya Gupta

:thumbsup:

Hope you don't mind if I use this, it is perfect! :)

[Lord Helmet]

43. hey feel free to use it
