…and wins. Sure, accuse me of being biased, but in this little exchange, Moore is triumphant, even if he does (like most liberals) lose his cool at the end. The director of the upcoming film Sicko, which compares the U.S. healthcare system to other countries — most notably Cuba — faced off with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, accusing both him and his network of being pawns for the pharmaceutical industry. Check out the video which includes an intro by Dr. Sanjay Gupta which sent Moore into a frenzy, then the face-off with Wolf. After the jump you’ll see Dr. Gupta attempt to face up to Moore on Larry King Live.
Even though Moore ends up speechless at one point, sounds like Dr. Gupta is backpedaling on his arguments. He doesn’t seem nearly as smug as in his piece.
If you watch the version of the piece posted on Alternet (link below) you’ll see a bit of our beloved Lou Dobbs comparing Moore to Hugo Chavez.
What do you think? Who’s got it right, Moore or CNN?

Michael Moore is a commie who hates America. And CNN is the liberal media.

The thing about Michael Moore is…despite the fact that I probably share many beliefs and views with him (I would describe myself as left wing), his style is so annoying and rude that I can’t stand to listen to him… People do respond to others on a largely emotional level; it often affects us more deeply than what they say, and we judge accordingly most of the time.
So, his antagonistic whininess and “go for the jugular” is really counterproductive as far as I’m concerned…either he just wants to preach to his choir (who must be wearing earplugs!), or he’s actually not a leftie but a clever “plant” from the right. I heard someone say he’s the Left’s Ann Coulter—well we don’t need one, & neither should the Right if they have any sense at all.
