Yahoo! News - Moore's Pre-Election TV Special Nixed: "By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer
NEW YORK - A cable pay-per-view company has decided not to show a three-hour election eve special with filmmaker Michael Moore that included a showing of his documentary 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' which is sharply critical of President Bush (news - web sites).
The company, iN DEMAND, said Friday that its decision is due to 'legitimate business and legal concerns.' A spokesman would not elaborate.
Moore has just released his movie on DVD and was seeking a TV outlet for the film.
Earlier this week, trade publications said Moore was close to a deal with iN DEMAND for 'The Michael Moore Pre-Election Special,' which also would include interviews with politically active celebrities and admonitions to vote. The Nov. 1 special was to be available for $9.95. "
Moore offered to let another company, the Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc, air the movie for free but the broadcaster has a reputation for conservative politics so is unlikely to do so.
