"A lot of our kids are dead because those fuckers haven't done their job," said Moore after stopping by CNN's anchor desk and giving morning anchor Bill Hemmer a hard time.

But Moore had few reservations about appearing Thursday on NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," which is broadcasting segments from Boston throughout the week. It's the first time in a decade that Moore has agreed to sit down with Leno.

Yesterday was just a preview of the consolidated group hate fest that will trash Kerry, Edwards, Teresa, and all things democratic up until 11/2/2004

I hate the corporate media

they are doing to this great Nation

8. That's what Hans Blix said too!

Well, Hans said that the media should have been more skeptical of the White House messages. I'm sure he was thinking "f**Kers and patsies".

14. hell, Jennings, Brokaw, and Rather said that the other

day on CSPAN, then tried to defend themselves for blowing the WH

I started TWO threads on that show, and nobody much cared

9. American media

is overrun with high-paid shills touting a corporate agenda. It's revolting. :puke:

[Brewman_Jax]

10. Sorry scumbags!

I have listen to shortwave radio or read the internet to get REAL media coverage. Most people do not have access to these. Moore is correct, they can go cheney themselves!

[Kolesar]

11. kick that thread

[SammyBlue]

12. go Michael Go!

At least one person who presents himself as a high-profile democrat will call a spade a spade.

Go Michael Go!!!

[nolabels]

13. People that like to live on the illusions of others hate that

I don't really know how clued in he is about what really goes on, but after they piss him off enough he probably will change his mind a little on what he thinks. His F-9/11 had a some important things to look at, but a grain of salt is sometimes needed.

Everybody has a piece of the puzzle, and to surrender ones idea of what reality is, to some corporate mediaocracy, would seem to me like getting a frontal lobotomy
