What's hypocritical about it? It was a business decision. It's their right to say, "This movie is crap and we aren't going to be a part of it.

My guess is that since Mike Moore is an established dissembler who's more interested in partisan mud throwing than "truth" and "facts" his new movie is likely to be more propaganda than gotcha journalism.

I'm guessing that Disney decided that they would not like to be associated with that sort of thing during an election year. Besides, Eisner told CNBC that Moore can release the film through any one of 11 other distributors, just not Disney.

In fact, there's growing evidence that Moore knew this all along and wanted the controversy just before Cannes.

Could it be that MM is just an opportunist? Gee, I wonder.
