Shameless attempt by NBC affiliate to smear michael moore
Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 12:25 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
MAYBE THE SINGLE MOST SLANTED BIT OF "NEWS" I'VE EVER SEEN

Bet this guy got his job at the RW Media Leadership Institutea pointless smear, by a local tv station in Louisville, of Michael Moore-includes on scene reporting from Flint, MI-which, as you know, is located within the Louisville viewing area.

Eric Hack (eflack@wave3tv.com) wouldn't be trying to attach his name to Moore to get out of the ghetto of KY local tv, now would he?

The Truth About Michael Moore Pt. 1

By Eric Flack

(FLINT, Mich., February 10th, 2005) -- The name alone sparks debate: Michael Moore. The man behind some of the world's most famous and controversial documentaries. He's targeted everyone from the NRA to President Bush. His next project is aimed at the pharmaceutical industry, including Indiana drug maker Eli Lily. But first, WAVE 3 Investigator Eric Flack goes in search of the truth in Flint Michigan, the place where Moore launched his career, and left a city scorned.

1. Maybe Flak can find a job a Talon News
What has happened to this country. Why all the hate toward someone who fights for the common man. By the way- I've stayed in downtown Flint and it is a mess (no offense to those from Flint).

5. not according to this
Flint is a great place and if you try to address the economic problem there, you hate your hometown! See, the rabbit lady says so, too!

i'd ask-do they seriously think we're this stupid-but this shit catches on.

When I heard the first rightwinger engage in france-bashin in 2002, i laughed and thought-this time they've crossed the line. americans will never adopt this pointless xenophobia.

but now I hear that shit from even supposedly left-leaning people.

I think you really can overestimate the intelligence of tv viewers

4. Left a city scorned?
Well, sure, Roger Smith and Co. aren't happy, but the citizens whose story was told by Moore can't be too mad. And he is constantly going back to Flint, helping the citizens, etc...

What a lame pile of crap this Gannon wanna-be this Flack "moran" is.
