making integrity an integral part of the 2000 election, they didn't want the primary political champion for opening up the Internet for the people in the White House and they knew this was Bush's best chance of making the race close enough to steal.

If you ever watch the Big Brother television show, you will on occasion see them back door a particularly strong player out of the house, because that player is viewed as the greatest threat and the other players are afraid to take that player head on. I believe as the Internet grew in power and influence, the corporate media came to resent Al Gore for it and this was their main motivation for the witch hunt against the Clintons through out the first part of the 90s which they were more than happy to transfer in to the war against Gore's credibility, beginning just weeks after Clinton's impeachment. They were building a frame or setting the stage if you prefer, to give an inferior yet corporate loving candidate something to run on.
