Michael Moore And Wolf Blitzer
by sarabeth at 4:47 pm on July 9th, 2007 in MediaMichael Moore just read the riot act to Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s Situation Room. If you didn’t see it, watch for it on the internets. You have never seen anything like this on TV, I guarantee that. It redefines the meaning of “reading the riot act”.
I have to give CNN and Biltzer credit for carrying the segment, and letting Moore say his piece. And inviting him to be back with more tomorrow.
*** Update, 5:07 pm ***
Crooks and Liars has video.

Well, if that’s the consensus opinion, I’ll have to eat my words. Not to mention, start refunding everyone’s money!
And to think that just today I sounded off on The Downside Of Rhetorical Flourishes!

I dunno.
I think he’s a fool, but he took it like a man from Moore. His attempts at rebuttal may have been very weak, but I can’t imagine anyone else in the media handling it the way he did, in terms of tone, body language, etc. He was actually dignified, which surprised me no end.
He went up in my estimation today.
