If you missed Michael Moore drawing and quartering Wolf Blitzer yesterday, check it out.
I have to admit that for a second I thought, "Hey, don't be mean to Sanjay Gupta." But Moore's point was exactly right on. First, CNN felt a need to run a piece that said, in effect, "Pretty much everything Sicko said was right but we can look at the numbers a little differently, so Michael Moore is a liar." They keep doing shit like this. People don't listen to what is being said, they just take away the mental insulation that anything that makes them uncomfortable is a lie, or 'fudge' as Dr. Gupta would say.
Second, while Gupta's actions in Iraq, and I remember watching them at the time, were valiant, in the end he was only serving to hype a war and not question its premise. Moore is right to say that and will be skewered for bringing it up. It was rad to watch him stomp all over the moronic Blitzer however.
