Nets Champion Gore's Oscar as 'Springboard' to Presidential Bid

Media Research Center

CBS and ABC on Monday night celebrated the Academy Award for the documentary narrated by Al Gore and promoted the cause of those who hope he uses it as a "springboard" for a presidential run. For her lead, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric paired how the "Oscar win puts Al Gore's global warming message on center stage" with how "environmentalism may be reaching critical mass" as evidenced by how "the largest private equity buyout in corporate history" -- of the TXU utility -- shows that the "Wall Street mantra of 'greed is good' has been replaced by 'green is good.'" Gloria Borger Borger soon trumpeted how Gore is playing his Oscar "for all it's worth because now he's not just another defeated presidential candidate. He's an Oscar-winning environmental evangelist" and, she oozed, "on stage last night...Gore was on top of the world. Not only has he spread the word about global warming, he's helped change the political climate, too."

ABC put "Gore's Moment" up on the screen graphic before reporter Bill Weir touted how "a bigger, looser Al Gore now roams red carpets in Ralph Lauren, gives Grammys to Red Hot Chili Peppers and has Oscar credibility" -- as if a bunch of Hollywood liberals awarding a liberal movie starring a liberal politician somehow gives that politician any more credibility. Weir also championed how Gore's "global warming slide show has made $45 million and counting at the box office. Live versions sell out red state arenas faster than rock stars. And he's up for the Nobel Peace Prize. Which leads to the question, will he run again?"
