UPDATE: MOORE ACCUSES CNN OF 'LIBEL' - VIDEO
Moore accuses CNN of 'libel' Nick JulianoPublished: Tuesday July 10, 2007
A prominent documentarian is using new media to refute attacks leveled against him by the old media.
Michael Moore posted a lengthy critique of a CNN "Reality Check" that attacked his newest film SiCKO, which examines flaws in the US healthcare industry.
In a heated exchange with Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer -- the second part of which is set to air Tuesday at 7 p.m. -- Moore said the four-minute report, which aired immediately before his appearance, was "biased."
On his Web site, Moore and the "SiCKO Truth Squad" refuted many of the findings in Dr. Sanjay Gupta's reporting, which concluded that Moore "did fudge some facts" in the movie.
"This is libel," the Web site says. "There is not a single fact that is 'fudged' in the film. ... We expect CNN to correct their mistakes on the air and to apologize to their viewers." >>>cont
