Eisner/Disney pulled the plub on Moore's new hatchet job film on 4 May.
Disney Forbidding Distribution of Film That Criticizes Bush

ASHINGTON, May 4 — The Walt Disney Company is blocking its Miramax division from distributing a new documentary by Michael Moore that harshly criticizes President Bush, executives at both Disney and Miramax said Tuesday.
The film, "Fahrenheit 911," links Mr. Bush and prominent Saudis — including the family of Osama bin Laden — and criticizes Mr. Bush's actions before and after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks
Was Nick Berg a captive at that time? Was Berg still alive?
We heard about Berg being killed on 12 May. I believe that was the date.
What did Eisner/Disney know about Nick Berg and when?
I just found this:
In one of the several pieces of startling video exhibited for the first time in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," we catch a candid glimpse of President Bush some 36 hours after his mother's breakfast TV interview — minutes before he makes his own prime-time TV address to take the nation to war in Iraq. He is sitting at his desk in the Oval Office. A makeup woman is doing his face. And Mr. Bush is having a high old time. He darts his eyes about and grins, as if he were playing a peek-a-boo game with someone just off-camera. He could be a teenager goofing with his buds to relieve the passing tedium of a haircut.
Now where is he getting that video?
......almost like it was.... pre-written.
----Nah.
Good points -- what did Eisner know? I was shocked when he pulled the plug!
