Farenheit: 9/11: a waste of my time

[Fairweather]

Michael Moore has now responded to a complaint by an Illinois newspaper against his controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11. The Bloomington Pantagraph charged that Moore altered a headline reading, "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election," to make it look like a front-page news headline, when it actually appeared over a letter to the editor.

 

Far from denying the paper's accusation, a letter from Moore's lawyer insists that the filmmaker acted within his rights, and that the alteration, "was in no way detrimental" to the paper.

 

Pantagraph President and Publisher Henry Bird called the letter, "baloney," and said he would continue to pursue the matter.

Forget the paper, forget Moore - read the Supreme Court decision, it's very short:

and Justice Stevens' dissent:

This is one of the most activist rulings in the history of the Supreme Court. Robbery plain and simple, and in relatively plain English...

Moore should stick to his talents: producing entertaining films and overeating. I'm sure he'd do a great job with Shrek 3.
