What Media Bias? Part 175 By Mark Noonan on media bias I’m sure that everyone has heard by now of the accusations leveled against Al Gore by a masseuse. On the face of it, there’s something definitely there. I don’t know about the rest of you, but if I had a masseuse come to my hotel room without my wife around, I’d be in quite a jam with the Mrs over it – even if nothing really did happen. Additionally, it wouldn’t occur to me to call in a masseuse while I’m staying at a hotel – that is the sort of thing done by someone who’s got cheating on his mind. So, it seems that our Al Gore got off the ranch a bit – and that, perhaps, lets us know why Tipper is looking for new digs. But that isn’t what I’m on about – Gore is a private citizen and his sexual proclivities are his business. What I’m fired up about is this from Politico: <<< Portland’s Oregonian today printed a police report echoing a National Enquirer story that a masseuse accused Al Gore of sexual harassment in 2006. The woman did not wind up pursuing her complaint, for reasons unclear. It’s also worth noting that the Portland Tribune had the story two years ago, and writes that it “chose at that time not to publish a story.”(emphasis added) >>> Two years ago! If Gore were a Republican, this thing would have led the national news coverage. Can you imagine what would happen if Dick Cheney were caught in such a scrape? Do you think the MSM would be at all reticent with running the story? That they’d wait until they had an air tight case before publishing? Next question: what else is the MSM hiding in order to protect Democrats? I think we should all subscribe to the National Enquirer – it does seem to be the only outfit which is willing to run true stories about Democrat corruption.
