We love Michael Moore, really, he’s a saint. But the blog “media” is all abuzz about the smackdown he gave Wolf Blitzer on CNN and we can’t help but think, “umm, seriously? We loathe Blitzer, but Moore doesn’t deliver any critical beatdowns here, he just bullies and hoards the conversation. The CNN piece starts out incredibly biased, some might argue just as bias as Moore’s films, but this is the news and his films are essentially an op-ed (and he’s said as much many times over), so it’s easy to see why Moore gets so upset, but these boorish tactics are the ones the right-wing media love to attack. And moreover, they never help his case. Keep it check, dude.
Regardless, “Sicko” is fantastic and powerful and you should spend your hard-earned dollars on that before you see escapist garbage like “Transformers.”
