Description: (ABC Good Morning America) "When filmmaker Michael Moore attacks a problem, he also likes to place blame. In "SiCKO," his new movie about the state of the American health-care industry, he blames the industry, the government and the media for not asking the tough questions. On "Good Morning America" today, Moore told ABC's Chris Cuomo that he was concerned that the health-care debate would go the way of the war debate, where he also thinks the media is to blame. He said that had journalists confronted the government about its decision to invade Iraq, they could have saved thousands of lives."

BSAlert ::: Favorites Most Americans down even know that leading up to the invasion of Iraq, there were HUGE, HUGE worldwide protests against the war that the mainstream media virtually ignored. In fact, Michael Moore directed a brilliant music video for System of a Down called "Boom" showing much of this footage - search for "boom" and moore on YouTube and you'll find it. This is what the media ignored that to this day the American people never saw. 07-06-13 22:48:53 _____________________________________________________
jasto ::: Favorites Oh please, Moore is completely right. I can't believe the indignation of this reporter. Everyone who has given Bush a pass is suddenly wondering how on earth this man did what he did. Disgusting. 07-06-13 22:50:37 _____________________________________________________
BSAlert ::: Favorites Here's Michael Moore's video on the war - put this after youtube(dot)com/watch?v=qV3bql50fUE 07-06-13 22:52:50 _____________________________________________________
BSAlert ::: Favorites You know if the Bush administration didn't play the blame game, George W would take responsibility for the WTC bombings. After all, he had intelligence of the attack beforehand, and he ignored it according to the 9/11 commission. So let's be honest about who really plays the blame game to the hilt. 07-06-13 22:55:01 _____________________________________________________
Hanshiro7 ::: Favorites Thanks modwheel. Cuomo's dazed mien at 1:53, when Moore bluntly restates the truth that Cuomo tried to scuttle away from says it all. 07-06-13 23:02:45 _____________________________________________________
GOPeagle ::: Favorites Moore should not have backed down. The weasel journalist pulled out "the heroic troops" for cover bs just like all wingers do. That is what our country has come to. All you have to do is mention "the courageous men and women in uniform" and everyone is supposed to fall in line and agree with whatever crap you are selling. 07-06-13 23:19:01 _____________________________________________________

DebbyDeb ::: Favorites The media is complicit in the deaths of soldiers. That can't be said enough. Anyone who lived through the buildup to the war (and that should be anyone alive today) knows that the mainstream media held hands with the White House, helping to sell the war to the country AND pooh-poohed dissent. 07-06-14 00:33:33 _____________________________________________________
xdir ::: Favorites Moore is completely right, the embedded media including Woodruff went along for the ride. I dont care he got bombed he wa sitting in an Armoured Humvee with Soldiers, which means in a war zone he was legitimate target. I do feel sorry for every other journalist who got killed or injured giving a non-partisan view of the war, especialy those of the British ITN service who where attacked and killed by by US troops. 07-06-14 04:47:50 _____________________________________________________
