OLIVER STONE - STONE DEFENDS W MOVIE AGAINST 'SCARED' CRITICS

Director OLIVER STONE has defended his forthcoming GEORGE W. BUSH biopic against critics, insisting they are scared of taking on the U.S. president themselves.
Stone fought a battle convincing Hollywood to help him make W, his highly critical appraisal of Bush - claiming too many people feared making a stand against the current government.
And he claims media critics are running scared too: "When push comes to shove, all these media companies are chickens - they're all part of conglomerates."
