2. The "corporate" media reporting on the criminal activities of a
"ccorporate" presidency? I wouldn't hold your breath.

4. MSNBC mentioned it, amazingly
I thouht they would just ignore it. But they had a sound bite, even video of it. Although, they only spent 15 seconds on it. Something though.

7. CNN had about 10 seconds of it with their voiceovers
...enough for me to see he lost weight and shaved his beard.

8. What's adequate?
Edited on Mon Jan-16-06 02:03 PM by NoMoreMyths
I think Fox News will do more than anyone. They'll turn it into a nice shouting match, and then it'll go away.

Plus it was a speech on a holiday afternoon, on C-SPAN, by the loser(I know) in a presidential election. Watch out empire!

9. You're joking, right?
The only way this gets coverage is if that other group of people Al Gore mentioned, the American people, make our congress and media pay attention. We muat take back our country and not expect any help. C-SPAN still had republicans phoning in saying Bush could do no wrong as he was keeping them safe, and that the only problem was the left.

10. MSNBC is saying Gore gave a speech
on what he says is a "Constitutional Crisis". It is the way they say it, like it is a dirty word or something. They like to portray an angry Gore, they have done it before....

12. The media has had lots of practice trashing Gore
What with the 2000 election and all. And THEIR candidate, Bush, has been such a success. We're all so grateful that the media spent all their time making up lies about Gore and complaining about his appearance. Bastards. I'll never forget their complicity in bring us this president and his war.
