Michael Moore, Publicity Whore
As pointed out in my piece on him on Reason Online yesterday, Disney had warned Miramax and Michael Moore a year ago they did not intend to allow Miramax to distro Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 doc in America. So why was it treated like breaking news in the New York Times this week? Because Moore was just trying to gin up publicity, he admits now, and it worked. And it's still working!
