The point Michael Moore needs to drive home
The confrontation was great, but I feel the shills are diverting him from the main point.

The point is that the media is clouding information for private interests. They simply aren't operating in the public interest.

First they kneejerk to discredit Michael Moore, then before your very eyes then try to suck up to him to make him look angry. They were flipflopping between attack modes.

They present all these alternately sourced facts to say "look he's wrong!" Then they say "well, our numbers aren't so far off anyway, so what are you so mad about anyway?"

They were all over the place in their attempts to discredit him and they failed to do so. But they did successfully avoid the question - "Why is it your job to falsely attempt to discredit Michael Moore?" That's the real hard one.

1. Moore Makes CNN Look Sick
I just saw the Gupta vs Moore round 2 and the larry king follow up last night.

They showed the piece Gupta did on Michael Moore's film, in which he blatantly tried to discredit and ridicule it. It was the most biased piece off journalism I'ld ever seen. I couldn't believe it was shown on CNN, (FOX sure). I have lost complete faith in CNN's ability to report objectively, they are obviously still pawns from the Iraq/Bush days.

At least they gave him a chance to debate Gupta on Larry King, Gupta looked look a slimy politician and a fool. I guess they deserve some credit for that. I'll never look at CNN again with any trust, i'm still in disbelief they aired that Dr. Gupta story.

2. He also needs to point out to those who bad-mouth Canada's health care system
that 93% of Canadians want to KEEP our Universal system so we must be doing something right! If that doesn't deflate the critics, I don't know what will!
P.S....I'm sorry I don't have a link to the poll that showed the 93% figure, but it is a fact.
