\t\t\t\tHonest left-wing journo Marc Cooper has busted Michael Moore for spinning a web of lies about Disney in order to hype his latest project:<\/a><\/p>\n

Below find an exclusive full text copy of the article by Andrew Gumbel which will appear in Thursday’s London-based daily The Independent which quotes inside sources saying there is nothing new in Disney’s red light, that Moore knew it was a no-go from the outset. After you’ve read Andrew’s piece take a look at this L.A. Weekly column<\/a> I wrote in March describing Moore as the Ann Coulter of the left.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chances of the New York Times publishing a retraction to its overheated story<\/a> of Moore’s oppression are practically nil, I suppose.<\/p>\n

BTW, Cooper’s LA Weekly article<\/a> is as insightful about Moore as anything you’ll ever read:<\/p>\n

Moore?s shtick is to deftly read the emotional contours of the liberal left and then to profitably mold and expand himself to fill the void. He?s a polarizer, not a teacher. His ramped-up stage style, shouting and screaming profanities at Dubya, no doubt provides some satisfying moments for the already-converted but can only alienate and confound those still in doubt. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And all the more damning because Cooper’s very much a Man of the Left.<\/p>\n
