Besides, nothing's preventing him from exhibitng the film, just from using Miramax, a company Disney owns, to do so. It's a free country, and Disney is within their rights, IMO, to say, for whatever reason, "We don't like this film and we don't want a company we own to distribute it."
IMO, Michael Moore is the Rush Limbaugh of the left; he seems to be more interested in getting attention than presenting a truthful and honest viewpoint. IMO he does way more harm to liberal causes through his fanaticism and his psuedo-documentaries than he does good.
