Michael Moore Flies the White Flag in CNN Flap

The battle is over and the troops are withdrawing. No, I'm not talking about Iraq, but something much more entertaining: Michael Moore has decided to end the standoff between himself and CNN, saying he's willing to "move on." As you know, Moore had a live hissy fit with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room," in response to a taped critique of his movie "Sicko" by CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

"I trust the intelligence of the American people," Moore told The Associated Press. "I don't think there's a whole lot more to do with this other than I and others are going to be a lot more skeptical with what I see on CNN."

Lots of us are plenty skeptical about what we see on CNN. Welcome to the club, Mr. Moore! (Unfortunately for him, however, many of us are also quite skeptical about what we see in his movies.)
