'Sicko' by Michael Moore ~ The Spin Doctor Will See You Now by PR Watch
http://www.prwatch.org/node/6226
The Spin Doctor Will See You Now Topics: corporations | Fake TV News | front groups | health | media | pharmaceuticals | video news releases Source: Health Care America via MultiVu, June 29, 2007 "If I had to do it all over again, I don't think I would use the Ontario system," said Canadian cancer patient Lindsay McGreith. "I would get my wife to drive me to Buffalo, because I know in Buffalo you'd get looked after, whereas here you'd just sit for seven and a half hours. ... Our system is lousy." McGreith's comments are in a soundbite and B-roll video package (basically, an unassembled video news release) distributed by the PR firm MultiVu and funded by Health Care America, which is funded in part by pharmaceutical and hospital companies. It's part of an organized industry response to the Michael Moore movie "Sicko." Another MultiVu fake news video, which was funded by America's Health Insurance Plans, promotes a "public-private" health care system and decries Moore's single-payer proposal as an unpopular, "simplistic" and unrealistic "public takeover of the healthcare system." |

Oh the lies and dishonesty of *Organized Medicine*. There was nothing fake when Michael traveled to other countries and spoke directly with those in hospitals and ER's, nor the $12,000.00 check he wrote to help the wife of one who slammed him on his website. Michael agreed he has the right (my words next) *to be wrong.* I don't always agree with Michael, nor like some parts of his style, but I respect him. |
