ABCNEWS.com : Moore Responds to Challenges Over Film (This Week Transcript)

ABCNEWS.com : Moore Responds to Challenges Over Film: "This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos visited with Moore in his hometown of Flint, Mich. to talk about it. Moore began the interview, excerpted below, by establishing his motivation for making the film.

MOORE: Well, it's an op-ed piece. It's my opinion about the last four years of the Bush administration. And that's what I call it. I'm not trying to pretend that this is some sort of, you know, fair and balanced work of journalism, even though those who use the words 'fair and balanced' often aren't that, but...
STEPHANOPOULOS: And your goal is to defeat President Bush.
MOORE: I would like to see Mr. Bush removed from the White House."
