We all witnessed “Sicko” film director Michael Moore verbally body slam a flatfooted Wolf Blitzer on Monday.
We know what set Moore off: CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s factually challenged “reality check," to which Moore had alerted Gupta in an email sent to his staff before it first ran on June 29, 10 days before Blitzer played again prior to his interview with Moore. Nevertheless, Gupta ignored it, changing nothing. Moore's “Sicko” truth squad then posted a reality check, eviscerating Gupta’s claims.
Last night, Gupta joined Moore on Larry King Live, where, in one of the most revealing moments, he responded to Moore’s point that the “one expert” in his report has deep ties to big pharma and conservative allies in government. Gupta replied, “His only affiliation is with Vanderbilt University. We checked it, Michael.” That, too, turns out to be utterly false.

Top 10 Reasons why CNN is better than the BBC World Service:
10) We can afford James Earl Jones to read our tagline. So there BBC!!
9) Graphics! You call those graphics!! Heck, we spend more on our graphics than you spend on your whole show!!! Shows what you get when you allow commercials to run half the time.
8) Larry King - I learn so much from that man!
7) BBC files stories from Mauritius and Mali and stupid countries like that that don't even exist.
6) No crane shots in studio.
5) Who cares about the climate in Cambodia. Do they even *have* climate in Cambodia?
4) I like commercials. They're almost as slick as the news itself!!
3) The BBC calls people "communist" or "socialist" like it's some kind of sociopolitical viewpoint, instead of the evil mark of the beast we all know it to be. Who writes the copy at the BBC anyhow? Might it be... SATAN!!!
2) They talk too much. It hurts my head. I like my news short and snappy!
1) SHE IS TOO NEWS!!! AND HER CHIHUAHUA TOO!!!
