Moore banned from his own premiere?
In a somewhat stunning allegation, Moore is claiming that General Motors somehow banned him from his own premiere of “Capitalism: A Love Story” in Detroit:
In what sounds like a publicity ploy, controversial filmmaker Michael Moore is claiming that General Motors banned him from the premiere of his own new documentary, Capitalism — A Love Story, on Sunday.
Moore said he rented out four theaters in the General Motors-owned Renaissance Center in Detroit for the premiere of the movie. He told WDIV-TV in Detroit that when GM realized it was his film, they wouldn’t allow him on the premises. “Somehow, they are able to ban me from my own premiere,” Moore said.
But General Motors had a different take on the controversy.
“The screenings did go on as originally scheduled, but Moore was not given permission to do a press conference in the building,” GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson told Inside Line on Monday in response to an e-mailed query.
Moore is spinning his wheels again trying to be the squeaky wheel. His claims that GM “banned him” from his premiere as simply false. Moore did not schedule or receive extra time for a Q&A session after the screening, and therefore he was not allowed to have one. The movies were shown exactly as planned and Moore was allowed to attend. He simply wasn’t allowed to hold a Q&A session after the screening because he neither asked for nor received permission to have one.
I am wondering why Moore thinks we the people aren’t intelligent, savvy, or aware enough to find the truth in his erroneous allegations. Surely we’ve proven we aren’t easily taken in by such publicity stunts, so why even try them. It truly makes me wonder.

He’s still using the same old and tired shtick. It makes me wonder if this film will top his others for the lies and deceptions content. Michael Moore, the multimillionaire victim…
When you think about it, it’s kind of sad. He truly is a one trick pony.
