<br />Excellent links Paco. A little digging revealed this nugget:

http://www.mooreexposed.com/paranoia.html

He described it as using Moore-esque tactics to prove a point, but he lists sources and there isn't any fancy editing, half-truths or outright lying.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Ahh but remember, Disney refused to allow miramax to produce the film. Moore had to find someone else to publish it.

That's interesting, you wouldn't think that disney had any outright opposition to showing people that they were liberal. Maybe they thought they would get sued... or maybe someone in their administration is a bush fan.

No.  Disney gets a LOT of tax breaks and incentives for their theme parks.  Their largest happens to be in Florida.  Do you remember who the governor of Florida is?  That was the major reason, but Disney is also opposed to putting out something so politically extreme right before a presidential election.  I don't blame them in the least.  Disney told MM that they wouldn't produce it over a year ago.  MM was just trying to get the media in a tizzy.

well i think fox labeled it as propaganda is because moore makes fox news look really bad in the movie.. and people say that moore has a huge following and people that support him wont give in..well do conservatives??

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
