With the growing vilification of the mainstream media, the rising of the blogs, that reporter burning the Paris Hilton lead story on-air and Moore's drubbing of CNN...I have to echo the question posed in the interview: when are people just going to turn it off?
Even if they do they'll be instantly hooked back on the next slow-mo Ford Bronco freeway chase.
and im just watching it now, i would consider myself a lot more on Moore's side than CNN's, but hes not doing himself any favours by opening with a 90-second tirade about nothing in specific ("why don't you tell the truth?" well, Dr. Goombah or whatever clearly just presented a news story with what was likely factual information. none of it seemed particularly shocking or questionable to me, altho it was rather innocuous and didn't take a hard look at anything in Sicko either) -- and ending with a demand for an apology? why dont you shut up and talk facts like youre asking the CNN anchor to do.
okay now hes getting to facts. i just wish he'd started off with them so he didnt seem like a huge cunt. even if he's rightfully upset. it's called showmanship.

To respond to this I'll quote what I posted elsewhere:
I have to say I’m glad Mr.Moore attacked CNN for what they are, instead of defending his movie.
The reason is simple: If he defended his movie in a point by point rebuttal to the previous segment he’d have wasted valuable time. Besides…after he was finished and off the air the noise machine would “start the debate” all over again and get nowhere. Because he attacked CNN and the MSM (his REAL opponent in this issue) people will/should question the MSM when they try to “start the debate” all over again.
It was brilliant and focused the debate not on the facts of his movie, but that the media isn’t reporting the facts of the issue at all.

Wow, someone's bought the entire bill of goods the networks are selling.
he also completely dodged questions about how he manipulates a subject by exaggerating or over dramatizing the negatives and completely leaving out the positive side
Speaking of idiots...why don't you spell out exactly where in this interview that he was even asked any question about how he manipulates a subject by exaggerating or over dramatizing the negatives and completely leaving out the positive side? Where in this interview - in your version of reality - did that come up? Where in this video did the conversation even hint at going in that direction so that Mr.Moore had to dodge it? What? When Blitzer told Moore they played a few Sicko commercials?
You've given a very specific critique of this interview but there is no evidence whatsover of what you're posting ever occured in the 10-plus minutes he was live on-air.
You know, I don't like Michael Moore's creative video editing, but I think he fucking nailed this one. Anyone who thinks he missed the mark with Sicko either works for/owns stock in a hospital-corporation, has never set foot in a hospital or is just plain ignorant.

i turned off bowling for columbine after that retarded montage 20 minutes in and refuse to watch a minute of any of his other pos fairy tales
