	The Awful Truth (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Awful Truth (1999-2000) was the name of a satirical television show which was directed, written, and hosted by the American film maker Michael Moore, and funded by the British broadcaster Channel 4.
		The show focused on exposing perceived problems in American government, business, and society, but often used outlandish sketches and stunts to spotlight the situation and the potential solutions to those problems.
		At times, the pressure from the show has caused the corporations involved to rethink their policies; for example, the man initially denied his claim from Humana ultimately gets his pancreas transplant.

	Zap2it - TV news - Michael Moore Reveals the Awful Truth About TV
		10:00 PM PT Michael Moore, the creator and host of the TV shows "TV Nation" and "The Awful Truth," was on hand to present moments from his two TV shows and to answer questions from fans at the William S. Paley Television Festival at the Director's Guild of America in Hollywood on Wednesday (March 7).
		Moore told them that, since he's a Roman Catholic, he wanted to go to different churches and confess the same sin, thereby creating a "consumers guide of confessionals." The NBC guys laughed even harder and the show "TV Nation" was born.
		"TV Nation" lasted one year on NBC before moving over to FOX, where Moore says there was much more censorship.

	The Awful Truth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		I was dimly aware of Michael Moore's first TV show, TV Nation, back when I was in high school.
		Moore 's last TV series (a new one is scheduled to start soon, capitalizing on his current popularity/notoriety) was The Awful Truth.
		Even if you disagree with Moore's politics, you'll likely find yourself entertained with much of what he's done, be it these seasons of The Awful Truth or the excellent documentary Roger and Me (we haven't seen Bowling for Columbine yet, but anticipate picking up a copy when it hits DVD).

		Not simply her death, but the way it was reported: She was participating as a guest contestant on TTTT (the show was entering a gimmicky period where the contestants would hide under veiled hats or things like that to fool the panelists, the audience, and the home viewers).
		The show was still on CBS as a daily show, followed by a five-minute newscast with Douglas Edwards.

		Swift's, "A Modest Proposal" is great because it cut through all of the posturing, callousness and general bullshit; ultimately forcing people to confront the horrors of the English treatment of the Irish, as well as the perversity of the reasoning that allowed it to occur, all the while being very funny.
		Moore learns of a man who has health insurance with "full coverage." However, the health care provider is using a loophole in their contract to avoid paying for a life saving pancreas transplant for the young father.
		There are several more moments of greatness to be found within the show's 24 episodes as well as dozens of plain old laugh out loud moments.
