Michael Moore Bumped for Paris Hilton Interview

Michael Moore can’t seem to work the press the way he used to.

Heiress and reality star Paris Hilton will do her first post-prison TV interview on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”

It turns out that “Sicko” propagandist Moore had to be bumped so Larry could do some jail time talking with “The Simple Life” star.

“She will be on for the hour,” Spokesperson Bridget Leininger told Reuters. “We had Michael Moore originally scheduled for that time.”

Hilton was released from jail after serving roughly half of her 45-day sentence.

It turns out that Hilton’s jail stint produced something positive after all.

It generated some discussion about the appearance of a two-tiered justice system, shed light on the checkbook journalism issue and sank a Moore promo spot.

Michael Moore is an Unabashed Phony

Here’s Michael Moore a few years ago after he already pocketed lots of box office cash:

“I don’t agree with the copyright laws and I don’t have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people,” said Moore when asked about pirating. “I make these books and movies and TV shows because I want things to change, so the more people that get to see them the better, so I’m happy when that happens. I think information and art, ideas should be shared.”

Now here’s Michael Moore talking about “Sicko”:

“Every filmmaker intends for his film to be seen on the big screen,” Moore said. “This wasn’t a guy taking a video camera into a theater. This was an inside job, a copy made from a high-quality master and could potentially impact the opening weekend boxoffice. Who do you think benefits from that?”

When asked about accusations that he may have leaked the film himself for publicity purposes, Moore responded, “Oh no. The (Weinstein) brothers are devastated.”
