Aside from the whole debate between whether Moore or Gupta was right on the coverage of Sicko, a bigger question is why is Gupta a journalist?

He would serve CNN better as medical expert, medical consultant, medical pundit.

Obviously, because he is a doctor, he has a huge bias and a conflict of interest, especially when covering (or not covering) issues related to health insurance in this country.

Follow the money. CNN is blanketed in pharmacuetical dollars.

How funny. I just posted a comment there on that debate.

What a bunch of b.s. I never noticed he listed himself as "journalist" before this. (Then again, I don't have TV so the only time I see his face is on their website.)

I took issue with the France income tax statements both made by Gupta and M Moore. As I stated there, and as I found when living in France, we middle class pay far more here in taxes than they do. Those in Gupta's and Moore's salary range - of course they pay far more in taxes than rich do here. (Who the f cares?) Employers foot the bulk of the bill in France; here we do.

So, I read the whole cnn response -- I agree with the use of stats as Gupta pointed out. Other than the mistake of $25 to $251 cnn owed no further response in my view.

(Notice - they didn't address Moore's PS about Iraq.) lol.

gupta also made a major blunder when he insisted the "expert" quoted in the story (Keckley) had only 1 affiliation -- with Vanderbilt U.

That was straight-up factually wrong.

I think gupta ended up in this debate looking stupid.

Why doesn't Michael Moore take his own advice on health and DROP THE FAT. My goodness Moore is obsese and that's NOT HEALTHY. I mean he's telling the American people to be healthy and this man's bigger then a house. Talk about hypocrite.
