Moore accused of publicity stunt over Disney 'ban'

Probably a dupe. I frankly don't care how he gets this movie publicized, just as long as it gets to theaters.

Moore accused of publicity stunt over Disney 'ban'
By Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles

07 May 2004

Less than 24 hours after accusing the Walt Disney Company of pulling the plug on his latest documentary in a blatant attempt at political censorship, the rabble-rousing film-maker Michael Moore has admitted he knew a year ago that Disney had no intention of distributing it.

The admission, during an interview with CNN, undermined Moore's claim that Disney was trying to sabotage the US release of Fahrenheit 911 just days before its world premiere at the Cannes film festival.
