MOORE BOO-HOOS OVER TAPE
Page Six.com ^ | 4/17/03 | RIchard Johnson

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 a clear and shocking example of unethical behavior through manipulation of an historic event." Moore has posted a digitized version of the ABC and CNN footage along with MP3s of the audio, as well as a wave form analysis of both clips. A CNN rep snorts, "It's ridiculous. That's our response."

Michael Moore whines about someone allegedly using editing to create a false impression of a historical event. Talk about the giant pot (belly) calling the kettle black.

He is wrong - I was watching. There was no applause, very little laughter, and a LOT of booing!

The booing and jeering were ferocious. The Hollyweird celebs wanted to cheer but the cameras turned on them. I remember seeing Nicole Kidman with her hands up at her mouth. Was that Freudian? I want to cheer but I love my career? So the Big Fat Idiot fans stifled themselves while others really let him have it.

I hope he keeps yacking. He makes a great target for people's scorn.

It's weird how Moore is so fixated on demanding that he wasn't booed by over 5 people or so. He wants to change reality, like in a movie.

No, he wants to change reality, like in a Michael Moore "documentary."

Worse yet, not only was there less booing, but CNN spliced in booing from an event 6 months early that took place in another state.

Maybe if that tub of lard would clean out his ears more often, he'd hear more of the ugly realities life has to offer him.

Accusing CNN of amplifying the booing of him for bashing Bush shows; after the latest revelations of Esan of CNN, proves just how delusional Moore is and meriting of a Court Ordered committment to the house with rubber wall paper.

This is eminently hilarious. Just sit back and watch these buffoons self-destruct.

It reminds me of uber-leftist KQED-TV in San Francisco being picketed by other leftists who think the station isn't letting the socialist side be heard enough. BuuuuWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I'm sure he'll get a lot of sympathy from Charleton Heston. Mr. Heston knows what being misquoted and misrepresented is like, after all.

Moore's one of those loons who honestly believes that CNN is a conservative media outlet. Yes, a lot of people truly believe this.

The idea that CNN edited a tape AGAINST his favor is delusional, wacko, crazy, nuts, flippy-flappy, dribble-drabble, couckoo, etc. etc. etc.

That CNN altered an event to increase their ratings, I can believe. But no one will ever convince me that Michael Moore's speech was an "historic event"

I'm constantly amazed how liberals care so much about what people think of them. They live for adulation as they are quite self-centered instead of being principle-centered.
