NPR Reports that Disney is blocking its Miramax division from distributing a Michael Moore film that is critical of the Bush administration. Disney is known for its tight control over the cheery image its theme parks present to world. Unfortunately the real world is not so sanguine.

Disney did not blink when its Miramax division releaed other dark and controvertial films (think "Kids"). Saying no to Michael Moore probably has less to do with Disney wanting to be cheery and more to do with Disney's politics.
