Michael Moore was a natural target of the Bush WH as soon as he made Fahrenheit 9/11 where he tried to cover everything the Corporate Media refused to cover.
You have to try to understand, they thought they had covered everything when their half dozen Corps bought up the MSM.

And MM was vindicated when Whistle Blower Wendell Cotter came forward and admitted that millions had been spent by the Private Health Ins corps to try to discredit him.
