isn't it a problem that the gap between main stream media and independent media is too big? since main stream media is owned and controlled by just a handfull of companies who are tied to politicians, lobbies and other big corporations etc? you know he who controls the media controls the masses.

Big Business, no surprise.
He will get his movie out, however the only problem is Mr.Moores movies often preach to the choir. Actually there are parts of his films that bend the truth pretty hard, perhaps if he toned it down it would get a broader more receptive market. We can’t use Fox news tactics against them, they will always win when we fight them using there rules.
Anyways, ENUFF OF ME!

exactly, unfortunately its practically impossible to reach masses through the bracken of the networks because genuine news/documentary/political discourse is at odds to their ulterior motives of profit and power.

and also, it could be a dangerous thing...as we saw in the case of the "Passion" where a distortion of the truth was passed off to the average American who may or may not understand that movies and documentaries are all 'constructed' efforts.

while i agree we need a paradigm shift, it's important to reach the majority of people who function on a media-controlled emotional level.

do you think that anything you read in the mainstream media, anything you watch on television or anything you see at the movies or anywhere full stop is not by simply the way of the given framework of consumerist society a direct complimentary part of that system in order to sustain itself and keep dissenters at bay and the masses unable to think out of the boundaries.
You have to question your entire history before you can think freely.

In a letter posted on his Web site Wednesday, Moore said, "Yesterday I was told that Disney, the studio that owns Miramax, has officially decided to prohibit our producer, Miramax, from distributing my new film, 'Fahrenheit 9/11.'
"The reason? According to today's edition of The New York Times, it might 'endanger' millions of dollars of tax breaks Disney receives from the state of Florida because the film will 'anger' the governor of Florida, Jeb Bush."
