Among other things, there is one good example of how the M$M will deliberately deceive you and me about what is really happening in this world. A small example, even on a very late night show, but the truth was not allowed to be told.
On "TV Nation," in the '90's, he did a health care comparison between the US, Canada and Cuba. Here is the transcript of what happened when Cuba won that contest:
LinkyAMY GOODMAN: ... I began by asking Michael Moore what inspired him to make the film.
MICHAEL MOORE: Well, I actually -- I had a TV show on back in the ’90s called TV Nation, and one day I just -- I thought it would be interesting to have like a race. So we sent a camera crew to an emergency room in Fort Lauderdale, a camera crew to an emergency room in Toronto, and then one to Havana. And they would each wait until someone came in with a broken arm or a broken leg. And then they were going to follow that person through and see how good the quality of the care was, how fast it was and how cheap it was. And I convinced Bob Costas and Ahmad Rashad, sportscasters, to do the play-by-play of what we called the Healthcare Olympics. And so, it was a race between the US, Canada and Cuba. And to make a long story short, Cuba won. They had the fastest care, the best care, and it cost nothing.
We turn the show in to NBC that week, and we get a call from the censor. They’re not called “the censor,” they’re called Standards & Practices. And so, this woman calls. She’s the head of Standards & Practices -- Dr. Somebody. I don’t know they -- she actually had a “Dr.” before her name, but I forget her last name now. But she calls, and she says, “Mike, Cuba can’t win.” I said, “What?” “Cuba can’t win.” “Well, they won. What do you mean they can’t win? They won.” “No, we can’t say that on NBC. We can’t say that Cuba won.” “Well, yeah, but they won! They provided the fastest care. They were the cheapest. And the patient was happy, and the bone got fixed.” “No, it’s against regulations here.” I said, “Oh, well, I’m not changing it.”
Well, they changed it. They changed it. Two days later, when it aired, they changed it so that Canada won. And Canada didn’t win. Canada almost won, but they charged the guy $15 for some crutches on the way out. So it’s bugged me to this day that anybody who saw that episode, you know, where it said, you know, “and Canada won the Healthcare Olympics,” and in fact it was Cuba, but that couldn’t be said on NBC, because God knows what would happen.
Here is the falsified version of TV Nation from NBC:
TV Nation - National Healthcare Olympics
Good videos. I hope this will rather wake up the lazy HMo's rather than bringing on socialized medicine.
Btw, fatass could have laid down 15 dollars for crutches but he wanted to make a political statement by choosing cuba over canada. This is the kind of that makes me very su ous about "Sick"o himself.
IF i was a senator, i'd put this topic to rest by brokering a pact where if we privatize education, we'll socialize medicine.
Then we'll see where Bouton's heroes hearts lie, with the teachers unions, or little timmy at the childrens hospital, you know the one where you know you're screwed if you start recieving clown visits and a trip to disneyland. Which with those kinds of promises, Michael moore will show up and you'll get a free ticket to cuba.
Looks like the Weinsteins got to YouTube, but the links are continuiously being refreshed by concerned americans, so do a search.
The full video is also available on bit-torrent and on usenet groups.

blasphemy. socialization will cut my future earnings in half!
Yeah, the British NSH doctor they interview in Sicko only has a one-million dollar home and a $400,000/year income.
you think thats enough? thats weak sauce
So in a couple of years when my generation (20 somethings) can't get jobs becuase we don't have the education of other countries are we supposed to just go work in the steel mills that have already moved out of the U.S.? Or are you just saying that only the wealthy can go to college? Our country's biggest threat is lack of knowlege in the competative global market. The people in college and graduating now are what will either propel our diminish the quality of life in our country for future generations.
Well, he wasn't a specialist. He just had a family practice. Not too bad of an income, plus I am assuming that the government covers all of the overhead for these physicians.
I do agree that it would be unfortunate for doctors who are accustomed to earning as much as they can.
...see you when you get out.
Michael Moore Assists In Entrapping Internet Downloaders
After the Saab Socialist claimed he didn't mind if people downloaded his movie for free, we learn this:
Will "Friend of the Common Man" Michael Moore, who explicitly authorized fans to download the movie, intervene?"I hired Kroll Securities, and we started flooding the zone," [SiCKO producer Harvey] Weinstein crowed to us. "We created lots of phony sites, and people had to input their private information to gain access to 'SiCKO.' We are turning over all the information to the police and prosecutors and are stopping Internet piracy."
Doubtful.
You'll be missed. Say hey to Paris, will ya?
Yeah, too bad neither bit-torrent nor Usenet require you to register to use their service.
I'm not condoning illegal downloading.
Just doing it.Yeah, too bad neither bit-torrent nor Usenet require you to register to use their service.
I'm not condoning illegal downloading.
Yeah, cause I, like Gore, started the Usenet and Torrent.
Of course you are.I'm not condoning illegal downloading.
No, your confusing condoning with reporting. For an example of condoning see the club thread...
So you don't want us to watch this video.
Why did you post the links?
Did you watch them yourself?
If you viewed it without paying for it, you've committed a crime. Deal.
Cause I'm just reporting what and where people are downloading SICKO. I'm not saying go out and do it...but if you enjoyed the clips then support the movie.
