What Michael Moore Didn't Know About Disney

"In "Fahrenheit 9/11," Moore is merciless about Halliburton. But he also lambastes another group right at the start of the film — the private-equity firm the Carlyle Group.
Moore points out that on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, the Carlyle Group was holding its annual investors' conference, with former President George Bush in attendance. According to Newsweek, "[Carlyle] buys and sells whole companies the way some firms trade shares of stock."


What Moore didn't know was that the Carlyle Group's senior adviser since May 2001 has been Arthur Levitt, Jr., the former head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. There's certainly nothing wrong with that; Levitt is welcome to do whatever he wants.

But Moore perhaps did not understand that Levitt's son, Art Levitt III, was for many years a key Disney executive and a confidante of Eisner, the chief opponent of "Fahrenheit 9/11."
