Moore protection

Michael Moore is being sued.
Instapundit hopes

that this gets the attention it deserves.

It won't, of course.
Does anyone remember when Moore claimed that Disney refused to distribute 9/11 because it feared that Jeb Bush would retaliate and revoke a tax break because the film mocked his brother.

The NY Times and Baltimore Sun ran ridiculous editorials condemning the Bush brothers for intimidating the artist.

But as Instapundit noticed a day later: Moore retracted his charge.

To the best of my knowledge no paper that parroted the charge gave significant coverage to Moore's retraction. I know that that neither the Sun nor the Times retracted their over the top editorials. (And I wrote to the Sun's ombudsman about it. He never responded.)

I fully expect the media to give Moore a pass here. He is fake (and at least to them) but accurate.

Technorati tag: Michael Moore, Insta-pudding.
