Michael Moore has found backing from Miramax for his next documentary, after Mel Gibson's Icon Productions withdrew, published reports said today (Tuesday), citing sources familiar with the deal. Titled Fahrenheit 911, the film reportedly will allege that the families of President Bush and Osama bin Laden have a working relationship. Today's New York Daily News reported that Icon's deal with Moore was originally drafted by Gibson's partner, Bruce Davey, while Gibson was in Italy. The newspaper quoted a source as saying that when Gibson found out about it, "he didn't want any part of it. He figured he had enough...

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - This time there was no mistaking it - the chorus of boos wasn't aimed at the boo-ers. The same boisterous lot that made Michael Moore one of the most "searched for" names on the Internet after the Academy Awards was back at it Monday when the Drudge Report said Disney would fund Moore's new anti-George Bush documentary. While virtual chants of "Eisner hates America" and "Boycott all Disney products" reached comical proportions, some people actually tried to maintain some sanity. AnnAkronism was NOT one of those people: "Why would a company who supposedly wants to attract...

What I do not understand is why you all need to "freep" Disney in order to try and stop Moore's video about the connection between Bush and bin Laden. If the video and Moore are such a joke and full of lies like you say, then why are you all so nervous about its release? And what difference does it make if it is to be released just prior to the election if Bush and his cronies have nothing to hide? My only complaint about Moore's video is that it is not covering the right topic. It should be a...

On May 11, 2003, it was reported that the folks who brought you Bambi, Snow White and Mickey, are about to unveil their new project which is sure to endear themselves to a new generation of America's youngsters; Michael Moore bashing America and President George W. Bush. In the words of Michael Moore, as reported by Drudge, "The primary thrust of the new film is what has happened to the country since Sept. 11, and how the Bush administration used this tragic event to push its agenda." Yes, this is the same Michael Moore who a reporter in Japan asked,...

Michael Moore is trying to tie Bush to bin Laden! His film is scheduled to be released in 2004, in the middle of the campaign! And Disney's Miramax is reportedly financing this hit piece!Of course we must boycott Disney and Miramax. But letters (hard copy ones, ones they have to hold in their hands and look at) are another effective way of getting the message out that America doesn't want Michael Moore's Bush-bashing films in their marketplace!!Here are some contact numbers and street addresses to mail your letters to. Please remember: the person who answers the phone may have NO...

PORCINE provocateur Michael Moore is using sophisticated wave-form analysis technology to argue that CNN amplified the booing in its re-broadcast of his George Bush-bashing Oscar speech. According to a posting on Moore's Web site, "CNN and CNN Headline News aired a significantly different audio response to Moore's speech than was originally broadcast on ABC. It seems that someone has manipulated the audio to give the impression there was constant loud ‘booing' throughout Moore's speech, when in reality, there was only marginal booing often overridden with cheers and applause. This needs to be fully investigated . . . [H]ere we have...

Why I made that speech Something had to be said at the Oscars about the war. Michael Moore explains why he was the one to say it. [snip] We are continually bombarded with one fictitious story after another from the Bush White House. And that is why it is important that filmmakers make non-fiction, so that all the little lies can be exposed and the public informed. An uninformed public in a democracy is a sure-fire way to end up with little or no democracy at all. [snip]

In one of the most loathsome examples of boorish public behavior, film director Michael Moore’s Oscar acceptance rant – perfectly captured by his unwashed, ungroomed appearance – went beyond all bounds of decency and civility, and spiraled downward into what can only be described as an infantile tantrum. Mired in the lonely delusions of those reliving the great liberal loss of the year 2000, Moore castigated President Bush as a “fictitious” commander in chief, winning by “fictitious” election results, and sending the nation into war for “fictitious” reasons, as vouchsafed by such leaders as the pope, Bill Maher and the...

The "Academy" Must Now Share Michael Moore's Cinematic Shame By Chris W. Cox Executive Director NRA Institute for Legislative Action As the record-low television audience that sat through the latest Hollywood celebration of Hollywood knows, the Academy Award for a feature documentary film was given to Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, a painfully pretentious work of anti-American, anti-gun, anti-NRA propaganda. But many don't know that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had to violate its own rules to allow Moore to compete for, much less win, an Oscar. The Academy's "Special Rules for the Documentary Award" define a...

Moore tools up for another furor Michael Moore, who didn't endear himself to the Oscar audience last Sunday, will doubtless arouse further ire with his next documentary. The project will depict the allegedly murky relationship between President Bush's father and the family of Osama bin Laden. And it will suggest that the bin Laden family was greatly enriched by that association. Moore is making a deal with Mel Gibson's Icon Prods. to finance "Fahrenheit 911," a documentary that will trace why the U.S. has become a target for hatred and terrorism. It will also depict alleged dealings between two...

There was a piece on Inside Edition tonight on Michael Moore: A day after his controversial Academy Awards appearance, filmmaker Michael Moore was caught by an Inside Edition camera crew at Los Angeles International Airport showing off his Oscar and asking surprised passers-by if they were angry with him.Catching a flight to Detroit, Moore told Inside Edition that the booing heard after he launched into his speech was orchestrated by a group in the balcony at the Kodak Theater. He said that most of the booing was from "people supporting me who started booing the booers.""Look at the tape, find...

The petition discussed about Moore yesterday is now ready at http://www.petitiononline.com/moore131/petition.html Please sign it. If you missed yesterday's discussion, here is the synopsis: For the simple purpose of embarassing Michael Moore as an obese hypocrite, we are creating a petition for Moore to go on a hunger strike to demonstrate his seriousness as a social activist. True activists like Gandhi and Chavez went on hunger strikes to prove their sincerity. The notion of Moore going on a hunger strike is unthinkable. He doesn't know the meaning of the word sacrifice. *There were some that wanted to go the other direction...

Michael "The Blob" Moore should be the subject of talk radio today. Please post comments here about the reaction on the shows to which you listen. I expect Larry Elder, among others, to rip him to shreds.
