Disney 'blocks' Moore documentary
Via BBC News:
Controversial director Michael Moore has said film studio Disney is refusing to release his new documentary, which heavily criticises President Bush. ... Miramax spokesman Matthew Hilzik told the New York Times: “We are discussing the issues with Disney. We’re looking at our options and look forward to resolving this amicably.”Read the rest...
But Zenia Mucha, a Disney spokesman, said: “We advised both [Moore’s] agent and Miramax in May of 2003 that the film would not be distributed. That decision stands.”
Let freedom ring.

I feel that there has to be a balance between freedom and what is best for society as a whole. We are a country at war. I know that not all people agree with going to war in Iraq and that is not the point. We need to support the troops and that includes the Commander in Chief. Support for a decision is not the same as agreeing with a descision. I feel that companies have a right not to distribute films they feel are not appropriate. They have the rights under a contractual agreements for this. I will leave on this note. People in America feel we live in a democracy. That is not the case. We live in a democratic republic. It requires representation from the people. The people in America voted (democratically) for those in office (the republic) so America is getting what it voted for.
