Michael Moore vs. Wolf Blitzer

I know several people who've just watched Michael Moore's movie Sicko for the first time, so I thought I'd post this even though it happened several months ago.

On July 9, 2007, the CNN show Situation Room, hosted by Wolf Blitzer, did a segment on Sicko.

It began with a 4-minute piece criticizing the movie, or as Blitzer put it: "a reality check from our chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta."

Moore then gave his response, which, as you'll see, was quite "spirited."

Even though Moore was extremely critical of Blitzer and CNN, to their credit they taped an additional segment, which was broadcast the following day.

Finally, here's some editorial commentary on the whole thing by my favorite kneejerk progressive journalist, Keith Olbermann.
