this is just rich people busting each other's balls

thats true this isnt really a case of freedom of speech but concerning the politics of a company. i have heard people saying this may be what causes the break between miramax and disney - i dont know which would suffer more - disney isnt actually doin much except with miramax.

one interesting point i just read about disney's claimed reasons for the decision:

"Earlier, the Walt Disney Co. said that it would prevent Miramax, which it owns, from releasing it, even though Miramax had financed it. Zenia Mucha, a spokeswoman for the company (herself a former adviser to New York Republican politicos George Pataki and Alfonse D'Amato), said that "it was not appropriate for Disney ... to be the distributor of a politically charged movie in an election year." Critics immediately pointed out that some of Disney's ABC radio stations present a daily barrage of politically charged programming, generally reflecting conservative opinion."
