Yesterday, the NY Times castigated the Disney Corporation for "blocking its Miramax division from distributing a film that criticizes President Bush and his family". The Times was referring to Michael Moore's latest "documentary", Fahrenheit 9/11.
The Times concluded its editorial by proclaiming "it is clear that Disney loves its bottom line more than the freedom of political discourse". This editorial came on the heels of two reports (May 5 & 6) in the Times about Moore's complaint that Disney would not distribute his movie.
Now it turns out that Michael Moore has known for a year that Disney was not going to distribute this movie. He admitted it on CNN yesterday. So, today, the Times had an article talking about Moore's obvious pre-Cannes marketing stunt? Well, actually, no. I couldn't find it on their web site today.
Now who's being craven? I think it's clear that the Times loves its political agenda more than the truth.
I really wish Irish people weren't so smitten by this guy.
