This inspired a blog post by Michael Moore titled: CNN vs The Facts. (Here's an additional article from CNN.)
Below is Moore pumping his fist at main stream media.
Minor Hat tip to Blitzer... for letting Moore rant. Vote up this clip if you enjoyed it.
Possibly the best plea to the Main Stream Media since Jon Stewart went on Crossfire.
*Update: Micheal Moore Debates Sanjay Gupta on Larry King - July 10th. Watch it here.

47. Universal health care sounds good until you live it.
My father in law who lived in England died a few years ago of cancer. He was put on a waiting list for diagnostic testing for 3 months and died before he was even able to get a scan.
When I visted him in England at the hospital it was dirty and he was in a ward with alot of other people. He couldn't even have a phone in his room so my husband and I could not even speak with him until we arrived in England.
I would rather pay medical insurance and work on fixing what is wrong about the system we have then to totally sack this system for what I experienced in England.

49. Very well said spidersbck04 !!!
This is what he said:
Love him or hate him, he is bringing light to some very important issues that we as Americans fail to react to. We put these idiots in charge, and we are the only one's who can get them out of office. We allow our public servants to dictate to us what we are going to do? While pharmaceutical companies , doctors,and Insurance companies are making record profits, we lose more and more everyday. When a senior citizen has to decide between eating or paying for their medicine. Universal healthcare works everywhere but here, why? Are we not the most advanced nation in the world? Sickens you , doesn't it?
Yes, yes it does!

50. HOW THE MEDIA THE ADMINISTRTION AND CORPORATE AMERICA GETS AWAY WITH THEIR LIES TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
Isolate Real Issues, Dissipate Real Issues, Contaminate Real Issues, Obfuscate & Lie about Real Issues.
THANK GOODNESS FOR MICHAEL MOORE. WE NEED MORE OF HIM!

51. Maybe MichaelMooreisaDUMBASS should learn how to spell surgeon before he starts talking about those who are uneducated. Just an idea...

52. Michael Moore is an asshole. He has made a fortune off of the missery of others! He Passes himself off as a documentary film maker but that is also a lie. Documentary filmakers present both sides WITHOUT bias. Even Moores most ardent fans must admit that he is anything but unbiased! In Bowling for Columbine he claimed that if you opened a checking account at a local bank they would just hand over a rifle to you and you could walk down the street with it. LIE!!! In Fakenhight 911 Moore took extreme liscense with the truth in order to make his point. Then went to Europe and told reporters that Americans were "The stupidist people on the planet". All the while heading to the bank and making millions. Then that idiot Bill Mahr keeps having Moore on his show and acting like he is the next Mesiah. But then Mahr is a liberal moroon.
Now we see that CNN has the nerve to question Moores facts and his latest movie and he is screaming mad.Must be close to Armageddon...the liberal press questioning Michael Moore?

53. Good Job MM. USA health care stinks. I would rather wait for treatment for free than to wait and pay like here in the USA. Americans should have the same medical coverage as our US Senators and Congressmen. Why are we so afraid of universal health insurance? We already have it, its called Medicare/Medicaid. Let me buy into it. MM was correct in blasting CNN. Did anyone overlook Walter Reed. Somebody please tell the truth once and for all. How can Americans take the French having anything better than the USA? You go MM. You are right on the money. CNN sold out a long time ago

54. Moore is Right On The Money!
He Exposes the Medical Profession In This Country For What it is! AND...The Media As Well!
Ask a Sr. Citizen How Well Our Medical System Works?
Moore Is DEAD ON!
OH Wait.That's The Millions Who Can't Afford Health Care Who Have Died In America!
Shame On You Who Criticize Him!

55. I just saw "Sicko" and believe MM is right on again! Yea, he probably oversimplifies and tends to generalize at times, but he makes people think. I just wish we had more Micheal Moores in this world! For anyone this controversial, you know he is getting to the truth and hitting raw nerves!
What Mr. Moore left out of his movie is what the CIA and federal government are secretly doing. In a deal that was hatched during the Clinton regime, the CIA has a secret program where they take disabled people held in conservatorships where a judge rips all their rights away and forces these poor people to take medications in violation of their patient rights. In otherwords, these poor folks are used for the convenience of the government to test experimental drugs and they are killing some of them. I believe this has to do with the detainee situation. This secret program known by the Clintons and Bush involves the crooked drug companies, crooked attorneys and judges and is run through District Attorney offices thoughout the nation! People and politicians and getting paid off for millions. This is why they killed Shandra Levy that was an inside job.
So, how do I know this? My brother, Dan Farmer, is one of these poor victims and he is held hostage as I write this at Ember Care Maclay Convalescent Home in Sylmar, 12831 Maclay, Sylmar, CA 91342. He is held against his will in an illegal concservatorship where family members were never notified as required by law by a former LA brother peace officer (DA investigator) If you don't believe me, try calling 818-361-4455 and see if they will let you talk to him. Ask to talk to Dan Farmer. Try visiting Dan and see if they do not threaten to call LAPD 911! I have fought 19 civil cases in the LA courts for restraining orders and won most of them were they were framing me and family!
I also have a daughter who went missing right after Shandra Levy and has been missing for 4 1/2 years. You may call me at 559-436-8457 or 559-824-7519 or email me at tdfar@aol.com or fresno007@aol.com if you would like more info on this developing story that the corrupt news media would not publish. So, where do you find attorneys with balls? I have not been able to find any as they run from this case. I believe a total of 5 murders including a Fresno police Lt. and a heroic LA Superio Court Judge (Jeffrey L. Wiatt) Both reported as sucides, but in reality both murders!
My name is Tony Farmer and I ran for Cal Rep. Lt. Gov last year in the primary opposite Tom McClintock and my name was not in the Fresno Bee for the whole three month campaign period. Now, why do you think they would do that? How much did they pay off the corrupt publisher, Ray Steele!
Go, Michael Go!!!!!

56. Micheal Moore was right about the war and the idiot that was voted into office and it took 3 years and over 3,500 soldiers lives for the American public to admit it. How long until the facts show that he is right this time too. Yes Dr. Gupta is a fine doctor and surgeon but are you all trying to say that doctors are always right. Are you willing to believe that a doctor could never be wrong? If that were the case there would be no need for malpractice insurance. Bottom line our country is going to hell and it's being led there by George W. Bush and all of the sheep who share his beliefs. Wake up America if Canada's medical situation was as bad as Dr. Gupta claims wouldn't we see more of the Canadian people trying to come to America like the Mexican people. And as far as calling him names grow the hell up. Is that what we do when we don't agree with what someone says we resort to calling them names. Are you incabable of having an adult discussion on the issues. I didn't see Micheal Moore calling anyone names. He demanded an apology that well lets face it he deserves.

57. His ego is as big as his girth now. Talk about a persecution complex. What a noise machine! I just can't stand the guy and the two movies I've seen of his really stunk. He has really very little say, he just says it loud and crudely and repetitively and idiots who think they're smart swallow it.

58. WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS, NOT JUST MICHAEL MOORE. LITERALLY MILLIONS OF UNINSUREDS ACTUALLY CHOSE TO BE. THESE ARE THE FOLKS WITH A BRAND NEW, WALL TO WALL, PLASMA T.V. AND A NEW SUV IN THE DRIVEWAY...BUT FELT INSURANCE WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. INSURANCE IS SOMETHING YOU MUST BUY BEFORE YOU NEED IT, NOT AFTER, MOST UNINSUREDS WHO ENJOY DECENT HEALTH, FORGO THE EXTRA MONTHLY EXPENSE. THE ONES WITHOUT INSURANCE ARE EITHER IN DENIAL OR REALLY HAVE NO MONEY. THE ONES WITHOUT MONEY ARE ON WELFARE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY OR BECOME WARDS OF THE STATE. BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF UNINSUREDS ACTUALLY CHOOSE THAT POSITION FEELING THAT INSURANCE IS INTANGIBLE BUT A NEW SUV IS VERY TANGIBLE. THIS SHORT SIGHTED, FOOLISH, "IN DENIAL" MINDSET UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT ADDRESSED IN MOORE'S DOCUMENTARY. MOORE MAKES SOME POINTS BUT FAR TO OFTEN HE COMPLETELY AVOIDS RELEVENT ISSUES ALL TOGETHER OR SIMPLY PLAYS FAST AND LOOSE WITH THE FACTS. I SUPPOSE IT'S "HEALTHY" TO HAVE A MOUTH LIKE HIS OPERATING TO ADDRESS OVERLOOKED ISSUES.
HOW ABOUT FREE LEGAL CARE TOO MICHAEL? WHY SHOULD LAWYERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO EARN A LIVING? QUALITY "ANYTHING" HAS A PRICE MR. MOORE.

59. SICKO is the first Michael Moore movie that I have watched. I was poignant!! Right on the money - with the state (lack of) health care in America.
It is UNBELIEVABLE that our "caring" President and "caring" Congress are blinking their eyes at the Deaths of Thousands of Americans who cannot afford life-saving health care. I am one!!!
