They probably figured out that not that many people were going to pay nearly 10 bucks to see it and Moore was charging them too much for them to charge less. I'll bet it was strictly a money issue.

More reason to push this film:

Everyone should buy 2 copies. 1 for themselves and the other to give to someone in a swing state you know.

Michael Moore seems to think he is entitled to show his film wherever he wants to and everyone must be forced to watch it. How come every other filmmaker garners an audience by merit, but Moore seems to think he deserves his by force of law.

Far from being the humble blue collar populist he portrays himself as, Moore is a egomaniac, an aggressive capitalist, and has all the makings of a dictator in waiting.

What on earth is he going to sue for, and under what statute? If I grab a camera and make a film, can I sue to have it placed in theaters and on cable? Get a clue, Michael.

Earlier this week, conservative broadcasting company Sinclair Broadcasting announced it was planning to air Stolen Honor, an anti-Kerry documentary created by the same team behind the discredited "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" ads.

Hmmmm. I've asked the major media companies for a link to, or any rebuttal that "discredits" the SwiftVets. I've gotten no reply (3 weeks and counting). Perhaps they have been discredited by a MSM vote....

Don't you just love when Moore talks about what is fair and honest and true and responsible when it's his "contract" and he's LOSING MONEY.

I think we should nominate Moore for " Capitalist Pig of the Year " award.

How can the media keep calling the Swift Boat vets ads 'discredited' when not a bit of them have been discredited?

Let's send Moore to Iran to do a "documentary"....I'm sure they'd love him.

They may have also concluded that Michael Moore admittedly violated any agreement he had with In-Demand when he offered the film to Sinclair Broadcasting, who would air it for free. That may just negate any willingness of customers to pay $10 to see it on In-Demand.

Maybe Michael Moore will threaten to sit on them if they don't let him have his way. He might ask Elizabeth Edwards to come along and sit on people that don't agree with him.

Another lie that keeps being reincarnated. Disney NEVER agreed to distribute that stupid film.

Good shot. Maybe Adam Clymer could join the party.

The MSM haven't discredited anything about the Swift Boat ads.

Despite ads for Moore's 9/11 running on the big monitors at Blockbuster tonight, it didn't look like any had been checked out despite a full rack of 7 rows of Michael's Mug glaring at us. There were two (2) slots for Fahrenhype. Both were checked out. I asked if they had "Stolen Honor" yet. They hadn't heard of it.

That is my thought exactly. If the pay per view rights were exclusive, when Moore offered it to Sinclair he broke the agreement. Or InDemand realized nobody would pay to watch it when they could rent it for less.
