Michael Moore vs. CNN

CNN isn’t taking Michael Moore‘s warnings laying down…

On Saturday, the filmmaker wrote in an open letter to CNN: “I’m about to become your worst nightmare.” He was incensed because there has still been “no apology, no retraction, no correction of your glaring mistakes” in a report about Sicko.

On Sunday, the network responded point-by-point in a long response published on CNN.com. “In our original report, we made one mistake, which we apologized for and corrected on air and online six days ago, despite Mr. Moore’s claim yesterday in his letter to us,” the statement says. It adds: “We have zero vested interest in shading the numbers to tell a certain story. Suggesting otherwise, of Dr. Gupta or of CNN, just doesn’t hold water.”
