First, the election reporters got themselves trapped in a narrative that was resistant to fact: Gore was a a poseur, and Bush was an amiable Forrest Gump. No fact that did not fit the preconceived pattern saw ink or breathed air.

Second, they were vulnerable to spin when the Republicans found material to keep the stereotypes going.


That's the truth, the whole Republican strategy was to call Gore a liar on subject after subject faster than the actual facts could be reveiled. The press couldn't have been stupid enough to fall for it, they were corrupt and lazy.
