Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

If he has the verbal release on tape, there is nothing that guy can do about it.

Plus, its not an attack on Moore. The guy needs to watch the movie first before judging it.

The Film Actors Guild needs to shut up and act! Remember when Alec Baldwin was the greatest actor in the world?

Meanwhile, the maker of Michael Moore Hates America, an anti-Moore documentary which aims to give him a dose of his own medicine, is in hot water after one of his star interviewees claims he never agreed to feature in the movie.

Veteran documentary maker Albert Maysles, who shot the 1970 Rolling Stones film Gimme Shelter, says he withdrew permission from Michael Wilson to use footage of his comments about Michael Moore's technique when he realised Wilson's film was a personal attack on Moore. Wilson says Maysles gave a "verbal release" to use the interview.

He had a release and Mr. Maysels "withdrew permission" from the project. Tough ****. Michael Moore has been exposed as a hack by another documentary filmmaker.

Terry O'Brien on WLS AM Chicago this morning mentioned that the Western Springs, Cook County, IL public library was going to host a showing of Michael Moore's movie. Terry said that the residents of Western Springs should complain about tax dollars used for viewing the propaganda film. However, not only Western Springs but many other communities are part of the Illinois SLS, Suburban Library System and all of us suburban Cook County residents pay taxes to that library system.

Anyway I went to the library website and see that the library liberals are now not going to show the propaganda film.

Film Discussion Group
"The Library's showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 on October 22nd has been cancelled. The central purpose of our film discussion group has been to provide a forum for thoughtful discussion of films of current interest. The current political climate makes this type of forum impossible and has raised concerns about patron and staff safety. We regret that this has inconvenienced those members of the community who viewed this as an opportunity for constructive debate. No future showing has been determined."

Yes, the poor little libs are concerned about their safety. As usual the big bad conservatives might actually complain about the obvious bias of librarians.

As a side note, I was recently in my local library and went to the Vietnam history book section. All that I found were obvious politically correct books. Yet, I recall that there was a wide selection of Vietnam War history books from many different authors on the shelves a number of years ago. The librarians must have burned all of the conservative books!
