Cheney doesn't like WHOSE tone of voice?
Any thoughts on who Moore is talking about here:

You know. I was on a, one of those morning talk shows and after we went to commercial, the person who was interviewing me said you know, you know, you are right, I mean when the war started, it was very difficult here to book the people we wanted to book, ask the questions we wanted to ask. In fact, I got a memo about my tone of voice. And apparently the brass had received a call from the Dick Cheney’s office is what--and said that he didn't like my tone of voice. And I got a memo on it to watch my tone of voice. Well you've got to tell that story! You've got to tell that story. I can't. Well why? They can't fire you. You are like one of the most well-known people in America....

4. whoever it is
is a goddamned coward who doesn't deserve to be on television. If the VP's office is complaining about the "tone of voice" of a reporter, then he should talk about it publicly.

5. Michael said that he would post the information by the end of the week
on his website if the person doesn't report it him/herself. It wasn't really a threat -- more like, "This needs to get out and if you won't do it, I will!"

7. Right after he said that
the camera moved to a reporter looking dude standing in the crowd. I was wondering if it was him.

9. I hope they publish the memo
The media needs to be outed for what they are -- tools.

10. The list is too long on my guesses

It could be at least 100 or more of the whores.

I have no compassion for any of them.

It could be Katie because her tone has turned mean, I mean she is one Mean Machine.

Could be that new Meanie Paula Zahn. I remember when she was just a sweet and nice reporter in Los Angeles. Not now boy, she cuts her eyes at anyone that has anything to do with the Liberal view.

All of the little va,pires at CNN should be put in prison. There is no way that I could sell my soul to the devil on national TV.
Have you noticed that none of them have changed? They have gotten even more like Prunes every day.

11. Well, I don't like Cheney's tone of voice.

Neither does Patrick Leahy, I'm sure. Our vice president can go Cheney himself.
