So Disney doesn't want to distrubute Michael Moore's new film. Good for them. Not for the fact that they are keeping his lies from being published under the Disney name, but simply for the fact that, as much as Michael Moore has the right to free speech, Disney, as a private company, has the right not to pay to have that speech distributed. This isn't censorship. Michael Moore has every right to shop the movie to someone who will distribute it, and, considering the kind of money it will make, he will probably find a taker fairly easily. It would be as if you wanted to call someone and tell them they are a jerk. That's fine, but I don't have to let you use my cell phone to do it. That's not censorship, that's me saying, "If you want to say something I don't like, you can do it with your own equipment, you have no right to use mine unless I decide to let you." The left, however, is up in arms, calling it a violation of the 1st Amendment and such. More BS.
