> Newspaper: Michael Moore faked front page

>> BLOOMINGTON -- Filmmaker Michael Moore's Bush-basing
>> documentary
>> "Fahrenheit 9/11" apparently has upset more than
>> Republicans.
>>
>> The (Bloomington) Pantagraph newspaper in central
>> Illinois has sent a letter to Moore and his production
>> company, Lions
>> Gate Entertainment Corp., asking Moore to apologize for
>> using what the
>> newspaper says was a doctored front page in the film, the
>> paper
>> reported Friday. It also is seeking compensatory damages
>> of $1.
>>
>> A scene early in the movie that shows newspaper
>> headlines related to the legally contested
>> presidential election of 2000 included a shot of The
>> Pantagraph's Dec.
>> 19, 2001, front page, with the prominent headline:
>> "Latest Florida
>> recount shows Gore won election."
>>
>> The paper says that headline never appeared on that
>> day. It appeared in a Dec. 5, 2001, edition, but the
>> headline was not used on the front page. Instead, it
>> was found in much smaller type above a letter to the
>> editor, which the paper says reflects "only the
>> opinions of the letter writer."
>>
>> "If (Moore) wants to 'edit' The Pantagraph, he should
>> apply for a copy-editing job," the paper said.
>>
>> Lions Gate Entertainment did not immediately return
>> phone calls seeking comment Friday.
