Michael Moore says his announcement is no publicity stunt

I've lost track of the number of people who've sent us links to news stories about Michael Moore "admitting" that his campaign to tell people about Disney's last-minute refusal to carry his new anti-Bush movie, Farenheit 911, is a "publicity stunt." Moore convincingly rebuts this on his site

"Michael Moore has known for a year that we will not distribute this movie, so this is not news." Yes, that is what I thought, too, except Disney kept sending us all that money to make the movie. Miramax said there was no problem. I got the idea that everything was fine.

"It is not in the best interests of our company to distribute a partisan political film that may offend some of our customers." Hmmm. Disney doesn't distribute work that has partisan politics? Disney distributes and syndicates the Sean Hannity radio show every day? I get to listen to Rush Limbaugh every day on Disney-owned WABC. I also seem to remember that Disney distributed a very partisan political movie during a Congressional election year, 1998—a film called The Big One… by, um… ME!
