[lbo-talk] Why do they hate Moore?

[Alan Jacobson]

True. Isn't that the thing that we lament about the
servile press? Who else with national profile is
stirring the pot? WoPo with the Abu Gharaib photos?

For as important F911 has been and hopefully will
continue to be (this weekend's box office will be very
telling), I still think his two tv shows were the best
venue for presenting Moore's style of muckraking.
Having said that, haven't some estimated that over 3
million people have seen F911, based on the box office
revenue figures? That would seem to be many more than
would have seen either of the tv shows.

Now that's mass communicatin'.

this country and to revive the notion that the working
class is entitled to something than anyone else I can
think of.[/snip]
