E-mail Jack at CNN "Is Disney Wrong to Suppress Michael Moore?"

Jack's actually on the fence on this one. He admits it "makes Disney look terrible." Plus he highlighted Eisner's concerns that the film will endanger the tax breaks the company's theme parks receive in Florida, where the President's brother is governor.

Actually, it was pretty sweet.

2. Thanks for the link, FlashHarry

I emailed Jack.

The NY times had this article:

Disney Forbidding Distribution of Film That Criticizes Bush

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/05/national/05DISN.html?hp=&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1083762994-rBFrz6MSUwQFv0mv+YiW4w

This is complete Government control. Disney (Eisner) was worried that Jeb Bush is taking Disney's tax breaks away:

"Mr. Moore's agent, Ari Emanuel, said Michael D. Eisner, Disney's chief executive, asked him last spring to pull out of the deal with Miramax. Mr. Emanuel said Mr. Eisner expressed particular concern that it would endanger tax breaks Disney receives for its theme park, hotels and other ventures in Florida, where Mr. Bush's brother, Jeb, is governor"

What is wrong with America. Wake up people...this is looking more and more like Nazi Germany.

Anyway hopefully somebody will pick it up--although any movie studio might consider what President Bush will do to him if they show this movie.
