Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 - 00 [apfn-1] Fox News praises Moore's F911 and Booker Elementary Footage Update (06/16):International Fahrenheit 911 Campaign started:Update: Tom Tomorrow about F911: "...It covers a lot of ground that the media have been too cowardly to cover for the past three years..."FOX : "...The most indelible is Bush's reaction to hearing on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, that the first plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.Bush was reading to a grade-school class in Florida at that moment. Instead of jumping up and leaving, he instead sat in front of the class, with an unfortunate look of confusion, for nearly 11 minutes..."'Fahrenheit 9/11' Gets Standing OvationFOX News -Tuesday, June 15, 2004The crowd that gave Michael Moore's controversial "Fahrenheit 9/11" documentary a standing ovation last night at the Ziegfeld Theater premiere certainly didn't have to be encouraged to show their appreciation.
