Anyway - it's not just the movie and it's not just the fact that they aren't running it. They said they would and now they've backed away. Funny that. Plus it included an interview with Moore in addition to the movie.
edit to add, that once it's midnight, can I say "you people?"

I was just kidding. In a very conservative firm, I'm still known as the least politically sensitive member because I tend to talk straight to people. The "you people" thing is sort of a running joke since Ross Perot used it at an NAACP convention or sumthin like that. I like seeing it used generically (by you) because I think hyper-sensitive people react to it under some circumstances, while un-PC people like Ross Perot might just use it whenever they are addressing a group of people who they mostly don't really know. As far as I'm concerned, use it whenever you want unless its going to get you killed.
Moore said he's looking at legal action, but he has to be kidding. His entire timing, from start to finish, has been to coincide with the campaign. Having duped an innocent 3rd party broadcaster into cooperating with the timing, he has nothing to complaing about when they pull the broadcast, particularly since its Fifth-column propoganda.
