As a Media Maker I find it disturbing that the Walt Disney corporation is practicing censorship (again) by ordering Miramax films to block the release of Michael Moore's new documentary on the Bush Adminstration and its response to 9/11.

I just finished reading a news article on Reuters web page regarding Walt Disney and censorship of Michael Moore's new film about 9/11. Here is the link to the story:

Reuters Story regarding Disney censorship of the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11

The news report reveals that Diseny's main concern is their tax breaks in Florida due to their relationship with the President's brother, the governor of Florida. Once again rampant capitalism attempts to steamroll the truth. It is no wonder that Disney specializes in Fantasy!

At least now this story has broken, Michael Moore's forthcoming film is getting a lot more attention that it perhaps would have done originally in the U.S.A. - which is his intention, of course, to hopefully influence the US voters in time for the next election. But I agree that what Disney is doing is wrong; initially it made me wonder why Michael Moore was given the money to make the film by Miramax, but an article in today's guardian newspaper says that one of the co-founders of Miramix donates alot to the democratic party, so I guess that answers my question...
