That Darned Corporate Media -

That Darned Corporate Media - Michael Moore is financing his new "documentary" - which will reportedly claim Bush family ties to Osama Bin Laden - via Disney, says Drudge.

The director claims he will document on film how the "senior Bush kept his ties with the bin Laden family up until two months after Sept. 11."

Moore will also scrutinize, in graphic detail, why America is so disliked abroad.

With DISNEY financing now secure, Moore, who once railed against corporate media interests, may appear at this week's Cannes film festival in France.

The folks at Moorewatch have this to say:

Miramax is essentially an independent organization which uses Disney's distribution wing. Miramax has a long tradition of financing unusual and controversial pictures. And Michael Moore is the darling of the Hollywood left -- he speaks for them. And the fact that he won the Oscar for Best Documentary means that there is a good chance that he could win one for this film, too, and Miramax is a company known to spend millions of dollars to promote its films that are in award contention. This is a perfect project for a company like Miramax.

Stay tuned.
