Please provide the working link.
Evidently, FR has gotten to NBC, as well!!
LMAO!!!
Hell just got a hockey team.
How do they explain their network news, then???????
We have entered......The Twilight Zone.
dee do dee do dee do dee do
Huh? NBC?
This must be a joke.
I am extremely suspicious.
There must be another shoe waiting to be dropped.
They were not "blacklisted" for "exercising their right of free speech." The paying public simply refused to buy the crap they peddle out of disgust for what they had said. No one restrained them from saying what they wanted to say. No one restrained the public from spending its money as it wished.
Since when did NBC come to the defense of President Bush??
I smell BS
Get outta town!!
This is simply amazing to me.
Keith Olbermann is deeply saddened. His whole schtick is being demeaning towards Bush.
Harvey Weinstein and Senator Hillary Clinton
Miramax Film founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein, bought Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," after Walt Disney Co. refused to let Miramax release it.
Joining Moore as chief promoter of the film is Harvey Weinstein, a top Democratic donor widely seen as the foremost strategist in Hollywood's annual campaigns — for Academy Awards. Over the last decade, Weinstein and Miramax have transformed the Oscar balloting into a bare-knuckle brawl resembling a political campaign, with costly ads and accusations of negative attacks dominating the race.
Moore's agent, Ari Emanuel (whose brother, an Illinois congressman, is another former Clinton White House operative), charged in that story that Disney was concerned that releasing the movie would imperil tax breaks for the company's ventures in Florida, where Bush's brother is governor. Disney denied it, and said it had informed Miramax a year ago that it would be barred from releasing the film because of its partisan nature.
I can only believe this means that NBC is instead going to run the ads for free as a MSM "Public Service Announcement".
NBC and CW Television Network heard what FR did to the Dixie Chicks, and now they are afraid to even air ads for their movie?!
Who knew we were so powerful?
I honestly don't have a problem with this being aired...once the election is over. Showing them now seems politically suspicious (intentionally so, and it is just so typical of liberals to cry "politics" when somebody prevents them from speaking yet in the same breath claim innocently that their whole issue is about "freedom of speech", not politics).
So, Shut Up And Wait. Come November 8th, you can spew your bilge on any network you please. Otherwise, you are simply one more loophole in the whole McCain-Feingold canard and you should have no more right to speak just before an election than a myriad of other interest groups with a political point of view.
Eve Weinstein (with Harvey)
March 5, 2001
Eve Weinstein, vice-president of Elegant Films, has not been known for her political involvement. But when Hillary Clinton decided to run for the Senate, Weinstein decided to join the fray. "I'll do anything to get Hillary into office," she told the Washington Post.
During the last election cycle, Weinstein and her husband Harvey, co-founder of Miramax Films, donated more than $300,000 to Democratic committees that supported candidates like Clinton. In September 1999, the Hollywood couple also held a fundraiser for the First Lady in their home in Westport, Connecticut. With guests like Paul Newman and Martha Stewart, the event easily exceeded its goal of $100,000.
Elegant Films, a small movie company, currently has no films in production. The Weinsteins derive their considerable fortune from Miramax, which Harvey co-chairs. He and his brother Bob founded the company in 1979 and developed it into a movie-making empire before selling it to Disney in 1993 for a reported $80 million. Weinstein continues to direct the company's endeavors, producing box-office successes like "Pulp Fiction," "Shakespeare in Love," and "The English Patient." He also owns a share of Talk magazine, which is striving, in the words of editor Tina Brown, to create a profitable "synergy" between periodicals, books, and films.
A Democratic loyalist, Harvey participated in a weeklong flurry of fundraising last September that generated $5 million for the party. Like other movie moguls, Weinstein backed the Democrats despite public attacks on the entertainment industry by Al Gore and Joseph Lieberman, who accused Hollywood of exposing youth to a "culture of carnage." Weinstein made campaign contributions to Senators Dianne Feinstein and Christopher Dodd, both of whom serve on the Rules and Administration Committee. In September 1999, the committee debated the creation of a task force to examine the "decline of American culture" -- a measure that threatened to censure show business.
Now if the Dixie Chicks differed with their fans in the classy way that Beccy Cole did, I'd have fewer issues with them.
