(See: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/09/26/earlyshow/saturday/main5342948.shtml - mmm). They have every right to cancel the interview but it seems to me pretty clear that's what it was - whether or not it was written in pencil or pen doesn't really get to the point, which was that it seemed MM and CBS were both planning a spot which fell through at the last minute because CBS changed its mind. Moore's assertion as to why is unsubstantiated speculation, but CBS' claim that Moore was "never booked" is a little facile. The whole thing is silly - Moore overstated, CBS understated. But probably a Moore segment would have had a good shot of rating highly and potentially getting picked up, because that's just how MM is. So it seems silly to cancel it, even if ABC had him a week earlier and/or they were nervous about what he might say.

Its actually an expose. This is the FIRST denunciation of this horrible and unfair practice I've heard of in 21 years of free lancing. Finally a blow for the little guy. Its actually an expose.

CBS should feel no obligation to a) help him promote his movie b) provide him a venue to offer his often condescending attitude towards the people interviewing him. I am the first to criticize the often inane questions some news people ask (in fact I did a daily segment on that on my old show), but Moore makes some pretty ridiculous comments as well. That makes for great debate on cable news but on the networks, where the anchors are required to be a bit more constrained that puts them at a distinct disadvantage. Agree with him or not, Moore can be a bully and if CBS did cancel him the only mistake they may have made was doing it at the last minute thereby giving Moore an opportunity to whine that he is some sort of victim of the "corporate" media.
