Disney blocks Michael Moore film on Bush links with leading Saudis

Gary Younge in New York, The Guardian, Thursday May 6, 2004

The Disney company is blocking distribution of Michael Moore's forthcoming film, Fahrenheit 911, which exposes the links between George Bush and prominent Saudis.
Mr Moore's agent said Disney had pulled out because its involvement could jeopardise tax breaks the company receives from the state of Florida, where Mr Bush's brother, Jeb, is governor. Disney claims it does not want to be associated with the film because it risks politically alienating too many people. more

It is for articles like this that Adbusters media analysis describes the Guardian as "the only credible lefty rag"... The Guardian is probably the best British mainstream paper, but from Collective Lounge headquarters they do not seem very 'lefty' 'credible' or like a 'rag'. Last time I flicked through the slick weekend supplement laden with adverts and recipes for partridge foccacia with blueberry coulis...

More popolitics from Adbusters, A timeline of US Military Interventions around the world.

If you can handle the truth have a look at these photos from Iraq (not pretty), but also not more prisoner torture photos either
