Turnabout is fair play - Michael Moore on the receiving end

An uncomfortable truth - Film - Entertainment - theage.com.au:
"The film shows Melnyk repeatedly approaching Moore for an interview and being rejected ..."

It's curious that Moore should react so uncharitably toward Ms. Melnyk. Earlier, Moore had given a very cordial few minutes of on-camera time to an ambush interview by conservative documentarian Evan Coyne Maloney of brainterminal.com - Michael Moore's Call to Arms.

However that came to be, it seems to have played a role in turning Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine from fans to critics of fellow documentarian Moore.

Of particular note, in my view, is the fact that GM head Roger Smith actually gave Moore an on-camera interview which he chose not to use in the final cut of his breakout film Roger and Me. What makes this particularly telling is that the film, as released, revolves around the theme that Roger Smith is inaccessible and Moore has to imagine how Smith would respond to the issues Moore raises about GM's role in the life of his hometown - Flint, Michigan.

BTW, Evan Maloney will be introducing his latest film on Sean Hannity's show Sunday evening on the Fox News Channel.
