The man knows how to sell his movie. I just loved how he started out swinging accusing CNN of being a slave to their ads. Blitzer should have pushed harder that Mr. Moore profits off his \"truths\" and that the only reason why he was on the show is because his studio paid CNN for ad time. Its fun when legitimate political debate now costs $10 at the movie theater.

Moore was on Larry King the next night and debated directly with Gupta. The biggest problem seemed to be with numbers that each cite, but they both had information to support those numbers. Naturally, different surveys/studies/etc would come up with information that is slightly different. I think both sides overreacted to their minor differences. The other point of debate seemed to be whether or not the systems in other countries was in fact free. Gupta noted that they paid higher taxes and many people also buy supplemental insurance (true). Moore countered that the higher cost in the US makes up for the higher taxes elsewhere (possibly true, but I don’t know where to find the numbers on this). So in the end, they both may be correct.
