Stephen Colbert, Michael Moore Spar, Make Up On TV Show
In the spirit of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," filmmaker Michael Moore joined forces with Stephen Colbert to take on CNN in a segment on The Colbert Report Thursday night.
"Loyal viewers of the Report know there's no love lost between me and CNN. They are worse than the New York Times because I cannot line my birdcage with tapes of the Situation Room. I've tried, it's not absorbent," Colbert said. "But I recently discovered in my disdain for CNN I have a strange bedfellow, Michael Moore, who for the past week has gone toe-to-toe with CNN over the facts of his new healthcare documentary, SiCKO."
Earlier this month, Moore was engaged in a public spat with CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta over a report that claimed the film fudged facts with sloppy reporting. After the report aired, CNN did acknowledge it had made one mistake.
