Disney blocks Fahrenheit 9/11 distribution

This is kind of a difficult one for me to take sides on. I don't like Michael Moore, because I feel like he's an opportunist who'll stir up trouble wherever he can.

On the other hand, I hate Bush more.

Moore's new film, Fahrenheit 9/11, about the censorship that took place after the terrorist attacks, is clearly not going to be a pro-Bush piece. It's also the winner of the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Apparently that's not enough to avoid Disney from prohibiting Miramax from distributing the film.

Disney says it would violate campaign finance laws. Moore says it would anger Florida Governor Jeb Bush and endanger Disney's tax breaks.

We'll see how it plays out.
