FEC clears ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’

Michael Moore’s anti-Bush documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” lived on at the Federal Election Commission after it left theaters.

The agency said Tuesday it has dismissed two complaints that accused Moore and others involved in the 2004 film of violating a ban on the use of corporate money for election-time presidential ads.

The FEC ruled that the film and the promotion of it represented legitimate commercial activity and also noted that ads for the film didn’t fall within the two months before last November’s election or refer to a clearly identified candidate.
