By chance, Michael Moore's new book Stupid White Men was printed on September 10th, 2001. The next day the publishers suddenly considered Moore's book "inappropriate." Moore's publisher claimed that a book with sections like "Kill Whitey" and a letter asking Bush to resign would not go over well in post-911 America. They asked him to rewrite half the book, but Moore refused. The book languished for months in the warehouse. Disgruntled librarians finally broke the stalemate. They yelled censorship, and the publisher cried mercy, finally shipping the book in its original form. Although opinion polls announced unprecedented support for Bush and the war, Moore's "unpatriotic" book shot to the top of bestseller lists shocking the profiteers and pundits.
Moore first brought his humorous and radical analysis to mainstream audiences with the award-winning documentary Roger and Me. His television series include The Awful Truth and the Emmy-winning TV Nation. His first book, Downsize This! was a bestseller. Moore's released the documentary film Bowling for Columbine in 2002.
