Agreed. No corporation that seriously deals with the life blood of the bottom-line (profits, stock holders etc.) will long spite themselves to push unpopular themes. They seriously believe that they can still filter the news to the masses and control the agenda.

The popularity and devotion that this president evokes will slap them silly. Like Rush says, they are so seething with HATRED for Bush, they can't think straight. But let the cash flow dry up and they will offer Moore up like the "stuck pig" that he is.

You know, this is real sad. This is not even "Uncle Walt's" Walt Disney Co. anymore! He would've just as well had the plug pulled on his own company, if he could; rather than have this stuff going on!

I remember Annette Funicello saying something once in an interview. She said that when she started working in those teen beach movies; that WD approached her about wearing a bikini in those movies. He asked her very politely if she would not wear a bikini because of the image it gave the company.

He was really concerned that the company keep it's 'family' image.(no doubt worried about her too!)She honored him so much, that she was happy to agree with him, and didn't wear one. They've gone so far from that now, as to not seem like the same company anymore! Sure, they still have some nice films at times. But those seem almost a sideline now.

Disney is not stupid, if this news goes wide enough-I believe they will back down in a hurry..

No they won't. Harvey Weinstein is a) The biggest a--hole in Hollywood (everyone agrees on this, even people in Hollywood), b) argubly the most powerful movie boss in Hollywood (If Eisner or someone tried to overrule him, he'd jump to another studio and make it his life's work to destroy Miramax), and c) One of the angriest liberal Democrats in the entire country. He is absolutely SALIVATING at the prospect of producing this movie and releasing it at the perfectly-timed moment to do the most damage to Bush's 2004 reelection prospects.

In his own mind anyway. As I was just saying on another thread, this movie, if it gets made and released as a Bush-hate polemic just before the election - ESPECIALLY if that new CFR law is still around banning "issue ads" - then it will blow up in the Democrats's faces just like the Wellstone rally did. It will energize the GOP base like the Wellstone rally and Florida 2000 combined, and 2002 proved that the "mainstream" media don't control the information flow any more. We will find every lie, and ensure that every citizen knows about every lie, and that Disney is out to get Bush. And we will win so big the RATS will end up pining for the days when they at least got as many votes as Walter Mondale.
