Michael Moore has a problem getting along well with others. People who have worked for him in various ventures, from Mother Jones Magazine to his TV Nation television series on the Bravo cable network, have reported him to be a very difficult, demanding, moody, and irascible boss.

Having enjoyed ecstatic support from much of the press, Moore now is attacking them. The National Journal's email newsletter (free, but requires subscription), reports the following outburst by Moore:

"They like to wear flags on their lapels, but how many children of network news executives are in Iraq?... Nine hundred kids are dead because these f***ers haven't done their job."
