On Wednesday, Michael Moore blamed Disney and the Bush Family for censoring him. He claimed that Disney had caved to political pressure in blocking his film, and that he had just found out this week. Here are his words from his own web site.
Yesterday I was told that Disney, the studio that owns Miramax, has officially decided to prohibit our producer, Miramax, from distributing my new film, "Fahrenheit 9/11." The reason? According to today's (May 5) New York Times, it might "endanger" millions of dollars of tax breaks Disney receives from the state of Florida because the film will "anger" the Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush.Now Michael Moore has admitted lying about being "censored" by Disney. He's known all along that Miramax wasn't going to distribute his film. (Of course you have to go to New Zealand to hear about it.) Perhaps he was hoping another distributor would step up to the plate.
Also, Brent Bozell says Michael Moore's smear tactics are nothing new, and nothing to be surprised about.
