Update. I think that Jon posted to FR his attempts to contact Disney offices about whether the stories of financing were true.
I haven't seen this get a thread here so I am posting to share the latest news.
Remember that the original news story ran in Variety, the industry newspaper. It was not just a mere "internet rumor". If Disney Inc. had a problem with the news, they would have sought a retraction or to clarrify the situation.
Disney does not like the public to link their name to Miramax. I don't think that ABC would want to be linked to this campaign smear either.

If Fahrenheit 911 is anything like Bowling for Columbine, it will be a bunch of lies represented as truth. A lot of people accepted B for C as a representation of the truth, because it was what they wanted to hear. Methinks with Moore's target now being a sitting president, more people will call him out on his methods and his distortions.

I havn't given Disney so much as a dime in a long time. I refuse to support this NGO with a liberal agenda.
