Moore's got a hit in Bush's backyard



CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) —....They were among more than 3,000 people — three times more than originally expected — who sat on lawn chairs, pillows or blankets Wednesday night, soaking in director Michael Moore's film that lambastes Bush's decision to go to war with Iraq and his handling of the 2001 terrorist attacks....

"A crowd of more than 3,000 local residents – triple the number that had been expected – turned up to see the movie, which was shown in the parking lot of a football stadium. They stood or sat on lawn chairs, pillows and blankets."

"Earlier in the evening, a group of 300 protesters gathered to voice their opposition to the documentary. After marching to the entrance of the parking lot, they chanted "No More Moore!" while the film played."

And FOX? here ya go: "CRAWFORD, Texas — Hundreds of people descended on this one-stoplight town a few miles from President Bush's ranch Wednesday night -- some to show their support and some to see a documentary criticizing his administration."

Thats the leadin

"Fahrenheit 9/11" was shown to a crowd of about 1,000 people."

Someone at Fox can't count

Now you right-wing freep sneaks who think the phrase "Fair and Balanced" actually means someting maybe you'll think about doing some research.

8. the real irony here is
all of the stories had the AP leadin. All but Fox reported 3000 viewers. So If Fox used the same source they changed the numbers and lied. Its that simple.

10. Fox is not Journalism
It's Bush TV, and a disgrace to the entire profession. It should seriously be either pulled off the air or re-labeled as the Bush Re-election Channel.

4. What gets me...
are the people protesting this movie. How many of those people do you think have ever read the Bill of Rights?

I'd guess less than one out of ten.
