Behind the Scenes at Michael Moore's CNBC Interview on Broadway (Not at NYSE as Planned)

"They told me I'm not allowed to go into your studio in the stock exchange. That's been the rule for the last four years ... We've done this twice before on the street in front of the stock exchange. Now we can't even do it there. At some point CNBC has to just stand up to the stock exchange and say, we're the media, we're the press." -- Michael Moore to CNBC producer on being forbidden from doing a CNBC interview inside the NYSE or even on the sidewalk outside, Monday, October 24th, 2011

Michael,

CNBC isn't the press.  It's a large brokerage house, bond trader product placement vehicle.

Once it was indeed a new's organization, no more.

How do you organize a movement when people barely understand what has been done to them? They know something is wrong, but something also needs to be done. But it's happening, in no small part due to the work of the GREAT Michael Moore!

6:43 The guy who took the camera isn't he the guy from " super size me " ?

@izaccy Yes, Moore wants to take away my rights. He wants the federal government to decide who should suceed or not which is unconstitutional for starters, and potentially dangerous. He wants to pass policies to destroy small businesses and our ability to think for ourselves. He doesn't like it when a person works hard and moves up in life, he just wants people to be slaves, retire, then die like good comrades. We have rights, he just wants to remove them.

[izaccy]

@whyamimrpink78 do you really think Michael Moore wants to take away your rights,

Your rights have already been taken away by the lobbyists, you have no say in 2011 Capitalism

thats what he said, if you even listened to the whole interview

his not talking about the old capitalism, he is talking about 2011 Capitalism.

[izaccy]

@whyamimrpink78 go watch Jack Abramoff 60 Minutes interview

I rest my case

[whyamimrpink78]

@izaccy Social security is unconstitutional and is just another tax on us. Minimum wage is unconstitutional and hurts small businesses(the federal minimum wage does). Unions are thugs with idiots that hurt small businesses(if they are so smart how come they don't run a business). Those hurt the middle class. Communist like Moore and democrats claim they help the middle class but they hurt them. To distract you the have you blaming the other side. Keep supporting big brother comrade.

[whyamimrpink78]

@izaccy I would love a decent conversation with Moore. You know why? I would ask him a simple question. Assuming that he feels that the founding fathers are smart, they why does he want to set a system that they were against? He want the federal government to do this and remove state rights. He wants to take away our ability to control government thus potentially making us into a communist country. Above everything else I want the ability to control our government. He doesn't want that.

@whyamimrpink78

Do you honestly believe, that the protesters just despise all rich people ?.

just for the sake that they are rich. wow!

If anything this proves, that you have been mislead BIG TIME.

No one is blaming every rich guy, who have been successful !

thats not what this is about. this is about corps. lobbying, this is about bribery. bailouts

privatize social security, destroy unions, get rid of minimum wage.

make poor people even more poor.

everything the middle class stands for.

[izaccy]

@whyamimrpink78 Wow.. thats rich, thats so rich.. Do you call that challenging questions ?.

your being dishonest.. I dont know if you want a decent conversation about M. Moore.

so what if he is part of the 1%. he was not the one who bought congress and tilted into favoring the rich.

If anything he works against his own interest, because he knows where he came from.

yes he wanted to point out the flaws of the US. and he did that successfully.

good for him.

[izaccy]

They spent so much money into making people believe

that elections really did work, they made ads etc..

but the time is up.. man people have realized that it puppets
