As an outsider looking in, it's bizarre watching American news, it's easy to understand why people are starting to believe it's purposely trying to dumb down viewers. Remember the round the clock footage of the Anna Nicole Smith death, even The Daily Show spent 9 minutes covering it... The best 9 minutes of coverage on the topic, says I. You can understand why people out there agree, the Main Stream Media wasn't doing it's job during the lead up to this war (with exception to Knight Ridder) and they still aren't.
Here is an open letter Moore wrote to CNN on July 14th. He is angry with the state of the media, he is not alone, blogyoulikeahurricane.com has written an open to Michael Moore asking him to create a documentary about mainstream media.
The clip below is an excerpt from the July 15th edition of Reliable Sources with Howard Kurtz. Huffington explains why Moore i mad. You can watch the full video here, but it's simply another example of crummy TV media... Two talking heads spewing out quick talking points, if you want to save yourself the headache you can read the transcript here.

2. Yes. Honest people get their news from opinion blogs and Comedy Central.

3. I can certainly understand why Huffington feels the need to explain Moore's position to us blithering idiots too inane to understand it without her laser sharp insight.
