WikiLeaks: Cuba banned Sicko for depicting 'mythical' healthcare system (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/17/wikileaks-cuba-banned-sicko)
Cuba banned Michael Moore's 2007 documentary, Sicko, because it painted such a "mythically" favourable picture of Cuba's healthcare system that the authorities feared it could lead to a "popular backlash", according to US diplomats in Havana.
The revelation, contained in a confidential US embassy cable released by WikiLeaks , is surprising, given that the film attempted to discredit the US healthcare system by highlighting what it claimed was the excellence of the Cuban system.
But the memo reveals that when the film was shown to a group of Cuban doctors, some became so "disturbed at the blatant misrepresentation of healthcare in Cuba that they left the room".

You mean Obama's not the only one to tell a lie?

That's rich. Too bad liberals have all the attention span of a gnat... Michael Moore is old news.

The truth eventually leaks out, little by little ...
But much too late for much of the damage it has done thru our govt indoctrination centers from middle school thru the Uni's.

Michael Moore, Cuba and socialized healthcare = :nelson:

WikiLeaks cables: Michael Moore film Sicko was 'not banned' in Cuba (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/18/wikileaks-us-diplomats-story-cuba-banned-sicko-film)
Now he is saying that diplomats made up the story of Sicko being banned in order to discredit him.
:mental:
So, if I understand correctly, diplomats made up a story that nobody would ever see if it weren't for the guy Moore bailed out of jail to discredit him. How does that work?

He claims that his movie was aired on national TV in Cuba.

He claims that his movie was aired on national TV in Cuba.
He also claims it was one of the few American movies released in Cuba and that he supplied 35mm prints.
Hard to know what is true but it stretches credulity to believe that US diplomats would try to discredit his movie in secret cables that nobody was ever supposed to see.
