They didn't try to censor him. I don't like CNN too much but credit where credit is due. They did at least give him a chance to talk. Uncut too I think?

13. Wolfie's been committed? About time.
Oh yeah, I notice Wolfie seems to stick very hard to the script. Not a real mixer upper.

3. I think so too. They did make a mistake in the runup Gupta report to
MM's interview. And then they gave him more time after the initial interview. I'm glad. They handled that well. And now for Larry King.

9. Even Wolf has to admire someone who stands up for what they believe in
Don't see that very often.

6. They could have gotten ratings without getting their asses chewed out on air with something else
This was different.

14. That was all about MM -- best use of righteous outrage I've seen in a while
If you watch that first reamage of Wolfy, it really seems like Moore was getting through to him.
