Steve, Re: "Let me give you some advice Al, go home to Tennessee and find out why you could not carry the state in your presidential failure." Very true ... If "Big Al" had won his home state of Tennessee, he wouldn't have had to "carry" Florida. I guess the people of Tennessee didn't really like their "home state" senator. Make It So, Yousef

Steve Re...nobody likes Algore That is a bold faced lie and a gross misrepresentation of the facts. Why just yesterday, Ted said he liked him.

Steve, my favorite part of the article you linked to: And during a lengthy discourse on the history of political journalism in America, Mr. Gore said he believed that evolving technologies and market forces have combined to lower the media’s standards of objectivity. "The introduction of cable-television news and Internet news made news a commodity, available from an unlimited number of sellers at a steadily decreasing cost, so the established news organizations became the high-cost producers of a low-cost commodity," said Mr. Gore. "They’re selling a hybrid product now that’s news plus news-helper; whether it’s entertainment or attitude or news that’s marbled with opinion, it’s different. Now, especially in the cable-TV market, it has become good economics once again to go back to a party-oriented approach to attract a hard-core following that appreciates the predictability of a right-wing point of view, but then to make aggressive and constant efforts to deny that’s what they’re doing in order to avoid offending the broader audience that mass advertisers want. Thus the Fox slogan ‘We Report, You Decide,’ or whatever the current version of their ritual denial is." So if Al Gore "had a hand in the creation of the Internet," he also had a hand in creating the oh-so-conservative bias in media today. And this is supposedly a Harvard-educated man. Like you said, a liberal mind is a terrible thing ... Tenchusatsu
