hammer4all, i completely disagree with you about there being a double standard... so i'll only follow this logic in order to try to get some common ground with you.
but, if there is a double standard... who cares? any corporation is entirely within its rights to publish what they choose to publish.
moore isn't entitled to any distribution as it pertains to his legal rights. companies are free to choose to invest in distributing his work or free to choose to decline the opportunity. because disney chooses some opportunities over moore says much more of the nature of mr. moore's work than it does about the scruples of disney/miramax.
and to me, the choice that Disney has made to publish/promote conservative programs and withdraw from liberal ones (a choice you are saying they're making, not i) is a SINGLE standard... not a double one.
