FOX News, yes, they're right wing and entirely too made-up... but do you genuinely consider lead anchors like Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, etc. right wing news barkers?
No, I don't. Sorry, about that - I should have been more specific. It's the Fox News people - and their like - that I am talking about. To some extent, we have the same types up here in Canada, especially on AM talk radio. While I don't agree with Moore's approach, it does provide something of a balance.
Considering Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, I have respect for them. I do worry, however, whether the perceived need for the US to pull together for a war effort leads the major networks to accept too unquestioningly the news given to them through military sources and to censor out reports that might be deemed bad for the country's morale.
As for the appropriateness of speaking one's political mind at this event...it really isn't that important of an event. These people are here to receive awards for acting and I think it is a perfectly suitable time to say what you want. His film was about what he ranted about.
Brody's speech wasn't too bad, at least it wasn't an attack, though he did hog the the mic. He seems like a sleaze too, when he practically slobbered all over Halle Berry...wtf? She's got a ring you fool, and then when he stopped the orchestra...and then when he lingered on the stage during the presentation of past best actor/actress winners. He's creepy.
I could not have said it better myself. Perhaps that kiss was what irritated me about him. Halley Barry was shocked and she tried to conform to the jovial manner in which he meant it, but had a difficult time (and she is an actress).
I would hate to live in a world full of macho attitudes and people. You're the Neo-Macho Man, BR.
What? No middle ground between the Macho idiots (which I am not) and the total meow meow meow pussies like you are? Black and white are the only two colors you see, eh? I would hate to live in a world filled with people that only can see in black and white. Damn, I already do.

Eminem, a mysogynyst? No, but even if it were true, Hollywood doesn't have any right to point fingers on that score.
No?

deservedly so. anyone who builds their career on misogyny deserves the cold shoulder in lack of appreciation.
You are such a pussy in the full Tom Leykis says "You're a pussy!! (with the meow mix song in the background)" sort of way.
