I'm glad he did this. He's right. CNN is propagandist garbage.

They've got Larry King asking the softest possible questions to celebrities who have just come out of prison but they ambush him that way? It's BS.

My first introduction to CNN was when it was playing the role of the American government's mouthpiece during the first Gulf War, so, yeah, whatever. Michael Moore has excellent points.

American media sucks and fails the people. Get your news from underground/grassroots sources.

"blah, blah, blah, doctor, blah,blah,blah, excellent reporter"

Lousy attempt at making an appeal to authority. No wonder Michael Moore looks like he's biting his tongue when he heard that one.

Michael Moore and "Doctor Sanjay Gupta" (their emphasis, not mine Wink ) were on Larry King.

Now he can concetrate on improving himself by losing weight instead of being a prophet against other Americans' excess.

He is losing weight. On Larry King he said he's lost 30 pounds in 3 months. He's looking a lot better nowadays.

???? What excesses? He rails against establishment excesses and government problems. He's not the guy who made Super Size Me.

Unfortunately, he a) gets sidetracked by the whole "war" question. He shoulda concentrated on Sicko b) I HATE the way politicos (and no MM too?) just yell over people. It's so trashy.

Quite correctly, it's not more than a handful of moon-bats that actually credit anything this nutter has to say.

Fox news gave Sicko a great review.

Wait, they are moon-bats.

I usually like his stuff but in that interview (supposedly about health care) he does not show himself in a good light.

I though he fared pretty well. Not raving mad, but certainly passionate about the issue. He maintained a sense of humor and made very pointed statements. Glad he had a chance to say what he did.
