Nov 27, 2008 - They got the only actually fact that differs from what Moore said on the film wrong. They misheard. mistake. whoops. Moore was correct after all. oh well, never mind, the report has been viewed. You can bet if Moore had never reacted so badly they would never have admited that what they had said was a lie - i mean a mistake. In my opinion they new this, and they used this because they are biased and wanted to paint Moore black - so to speak

adamb0000 Says:

Nov 27, 2008 - Turns out CNN were using 2004 figures, Moore was using american government 2007 statistics. whoops. and 17 0:59 sec's CNN accidentally cover up Cuba no:39 and only show USA no 38 - just to give the apperance that Moore hadnt shown it in his film. Showing the clip with Cuba visible at no 39 would have made the viewers go hang on, but he did show it - its right there, 2 away from america. I find personally that the CNN report about Moore twisting figures is actually more twisted than Moore's film

adamb0000 Says:

Nov 27, 2008 - oh wow they did know it was a mistake already as Moored had emailed them the correct statistics from the USA government 2007 the day before they broadcast the film. So they already new they were wrong the day before - broadcast the piece the following day - and the the following day again said they were wrong and sorry. I dont understand why anyone would see this as biased?

adamb0000 Says:

Nov 27, 2008 - turns out CNN twisted the facts though - they had to apologise the next day.

Nov 27, 2008 - i love how blitzer talked about the tenure of the doctor and how he was a neurosurgeon and "fine journalist", that is a bunch of stalling crap

Nov 28, 2008 - I've never heard of this guy before, but i like him, he like many others (even outside the U.S) are trying to find out the real answers, mainstream media covers up.

Nov 29, 2008 - From a Canadian perspective. There are long wait times, I'm not sure if the care is better or worse. The simplicity of no insurance and all the other stuff I don't understand seems to be the major benefit. I bet the cost efficiency is way better in Canada.

Nov 29, 2008 - Michael Moore states what have always been my opinion, It was CNN MSNBC, FOX, and CBS that Facillatated this war for Bush. Which was never more Prevelant than when CBS fired Dan Rather"

Nov 29, 2008 - CNN and other American media are controlled by the Zionists (Pro-Israeli Jews) . They are not fair and let you see things as they are. MILLIOINS of innocent Palestinian children killed by Israel since the 1960's. Do you see one on CNN? Nop.

Echdrum Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - 'SiCKO' is a VERY well made documentary. Moore reported facts- he did not make up any numbers or lie. As for Gubta saying Moore is wrong, Gubta admitted he/himself was wrong (after this big report hit people- this is common in corporate funded "journalism")(watch 4 that!). utube "Sanjay Gupta Admits" (should be at the side like on this page and you will c Gubta admitting that he fudged his 'facts' on Moore's 'sicko'. SAD that people have no idea why the new$ ch's favour their $pon$ors.

Nov 30, 2008 - First off, Wolf Blitzer is not a real journalist. His book on Israeli spying inside the US was described in the New York Review of Books as "a slick piece of damage control that would make his former employers proud" (Blitzer is a former employee of lobby group AIPAC). Nothing he says can be trusted on this or any other topic.

Nov 30, 2008 - He is right,profit should not be in the equation when it comes to the health of Americans.

artnmusic24601 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - F#*k that fat bitch! Wow we have real intellect here. Do you care to respond any further and prove where Michael Moore is wrong in anything he says when most people cant, or do you need to learn how to read first. Actually learn how to think first, reading can come later.

Oreisa Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - I love to see you ignorant people calling Moore a fat bitch and whatnot, especially you Americans. Look kids, your the one losing with this broken system and no one else. Everyone knows that Michael Moore has been right about things he´s been saying both about 9/11 and the broken American healthcare system. Pull your fingers out of your asses and see the real facts instead of following the precious media who's still keeping you in chains of constant fear and enslavement.

SlackerSlayer Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - People in the U.S. have no clue how much of the 'resources' that they think go to health care never reach a doctor or nurse. From the bogas auto insurance (med-liability side-the largest portion of it) all the way through the game, you have nothing but middlemen. A one payer system will bring all those wasted resources back in line with actual health care. How many in the med profession left due to all the paperwork to get paid. They just get fed up. Malpractice anyone? More waste.

HolaUncle Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Michael, es usted un zarpado. Mis respetos a Ud., Señor Moore. Usted se pasa. Un abrazo desde Argentina.

artnmusic24601 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Oreisa Well said. America is too paranoid about outside threats that they do not realize we are destroying our selfs from within. So many are brainwashed by the GOP & Medias like Fox news that they dont think for them selfs anymore. Hence 8 yrs of Chaney/Bush. We are all not ignorant & some of us are fighting the good fight. The victory of Obama is a good start I just hope it is not too late for him to fix things. The GOP has done a lot of damage to my country we need people like Moore.

Dec 1, 2008 - I'm not sure the newsreader's name, but I'm impressed with how cool he managed to stay whilst trying to defend the indefencible.

gards2 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - I think the message from Michael is "Mass Manipulation and a news blackout of the facts" And I applaud him for his honesty.

rryanreid Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - Aman! Preach it! If there was one man one the planet I'd love to have coffee with its this man. And I don't mean Blitzer.
