CBS News | Moore On The Floor

CBS News | Moore On The Floor: "Michael Moore did not get the memo from Kerry-Edwards headquarters. Bush-bashing has been banned for the week, but just after 10:00 this morning, the orotund documentarian, in town at the invitation of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is giving him an award tomorrow, could be found milling about the sparsely populated floor of the FleetCenter trailed by a scrum of cameras mostly from foreign press outlets, including Al Jazeera.

(Asked by the network for an exclusive interview later, Moore excitedly replied, 'Oh Yeah. Sure.')

Moore, who was recently on the cover of Time magazine and whose film, Fahrenheit 9/11 has grossed over $100 million was mostly complaining about how the media has ignored him and the issues the movie raised. 'They haven't been telling the truth for four years,' he complained of the American press. 'Why won't our journalists ask the hard questions?' Pointing at some American scribes, he urged, 'We need you to do your job. Your children aren't there [in Iraq].' "
