MSNBC Debuts "Corruption" Talking Point Against 'Capitalism: A Love Story'

MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan says tomato:

1) "Coming up, we'll show you the first clips from the confrontational filmmaker's new flick, 'Capitalism: A Love Story.' Although you could argue it ought be called 'Corruption: A Love Story.' Anyway, uh, hardly capitalism."

2) "... including a look at Michael Moore's latest film taking on Wall Street -- a peek at the new film about what he sees as the evils of capitalism. I would argue it's the evils of corruption being represented as capitalism. Uh, there's a difference."

3) "That's what's called corruption, not capitalism, but anyway ..."

4) "If I was the narrator it would have been called 'Corruption' -- the name of the movie would have been 'Corruption: A Love Story.'"

5) "Capitalism doesn't exist when you're too big to fail 'cause I can just steal all the money then -- it's a monopoly -- it's actually beautiful. That's why it's corruption."

Once you enter public office you should not be allowed to accept even a cent from private companies.

The revolving door must be sealed with concrete.

@hellzyeah2005 I agree that there wasn't much offered as a solution really. But, that has nothing to do with his points about Capitalism being valid or not. As a sidenote, he does have a few ideas on his website.

what the fuck is going on in USA!!!!!, you made the poeple angry, you're economic system, so solve it yourself instead of laughing on micheal moore!!!

[hellzyeah2005]

that micheal moore made a film and it pisses alot of americans off, but he did not give us a solution to solve this problem. What a bunch of fuckin morans. Thats americans for ya!

[hellzyeah2005]

still too stupid to realize this...Americas only way is to follow....none of us are free thinkers anymore because we allowed ourselves to be brainwashed to a point that we do not know our ass from a hole in the ground. And even these reporter are the perfect examples of american society...why u ask? Because of what I said already....they are still looking for a solution....they already been handed everything there is, and they still can not decide on what is right and wrong....all they know is

[hellzyeah2005]

Michael Moore did his job, he put it all out there in the open....although most of us knew what was going on already. I think his plan was for us as americans to use our little pea sized brains and take it from there. These reporter on here keep saying that he made this film and pissed off alot of americans, but he gave no solution to the problem. That is kinda excactly what he was going for. He laid it all out there, and we still expect for someone to show us the way. Apparently we are all

[flotonz420]

Even the "liberal" channel apologizes on behalf corporate criminals. We are so frucked.

@kenola638 How productive is that, wake up? I'm awake, I've been awake since 6 hours back today. I'm not letting mainstream media control me. Now where am I.

We have to decide where to do forward from here. To survive as a race.

[mcshobe2008]

this first guy is an idiot... i'm assuming when he speaks about 'capitalism' he means some obscure free market fantasy... corruption has helped enrich the western world and if corrupt policies were taken out then capitalism would crumble
