Gore’s TV War: He Lobs Salvo At Fox News

New York Observer ^ | Josh Benson

Gore's use of the term "5th column" to describe domestic political opposition to himslef and the Democrats is just downright scary.

[dirtboy]

I guess she forgot Fox wasn't around then .. come to think of it .. was Rush big then ??

Now, now, don't go confusing a liberal with the facts. Messes up their timing.

[paltz]

Republicans take the house w/ Contract with America :1994

Fox News Channnel Launches:1996

[Mo1]

Oops .. I forgot ..

Post #194 messes up their argument also ...

OH NO .. whatever are the Libs going do now

[Tall_Texan]

You have perfectly described William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.

I don't think it relates to AlGore who, while seriously whacked, does not seem to fit this description nearly as well as his master.

"Mr. Dean said, "I think it will be kind of a tough job for someone who was a sitting Vice President to call himself an outsider.""

And remember, folks...

While Al was sitting, he was also lying!

Zeitgeist and Fifth Column. Al Gore seems not to be living in the 21st century.

[gov_bean_ counter]

It is now official. Algore has joined the "lamestream media" in its march toward irrelevance.

In joining the RATs' war against the right-wing media, I strongly suspect Al Gore is following instructions from Clinton or one of Clinton's underlings.

[WOSG]

Right! A very strange answer, as it really applies to Hollywood and the left, not the right. And calling Gore criticism 'post-modern' is bizarre indeed.

Gore is making points that are strangely familiar, yet totally mis-placed. It's as if Gore has some mental illness where he take right-wing critiques of culture and transfers it from the real targets to the conservative( the 89% proClinton mainstream media and their Democrat ties, transferred to the 'fox news' outlets as Republican-tied media, etc.)

[Demidog]

but surely you speak of Gore, not Sheridan, correct?

No, I'm am taking note that the pot is calling the kettle black.

The GOP just passed homeland security, has passed the Patriot act with out even reading it and passed the Kennedy/Bush education bill, Farm bill and other major increases in government spending. The GOP used to say it was the party of smaller government. Fact is, it no longer has any principles and has moved so far to the left that there is rarely any meaningful distinction between democrat and republican platforms.

[Geezerette]

Rush was talking about the "monster" Algor created when he "invented" the Internet. Then Rush called him "Franken-Gore"!

Rush is really getting a kick outa this Algor thing!

A conservative bias in major news media?

Bwahahahaha!!!!

I'm not inclined to pull it out and reference it right now, but anyone who is even remotely curious about the veracity of Mr. Gore's preposterous claim should read "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg (formerly #1 on New York Times bestseller list).

There's a TON of evidence to the exact contrary: that there is massive and pervasive liberal bias in the major news media (e.g., New York Times; Washington Post; ABC; CBS; NBC; MSMBC; etc.) This charge is so laughably ridiculous it falls into the "Big Lie" category by default.

[RooRoobird14]

Actually, I think The Goron does give a cr*p that his book has been a total flop so far. He probably also gives a cr*p that he has a 19% approval rating. Would anyone not care if they were being ridiculed publicly about things like this?

But I do agree--The Goron was also after free publicity and TV air time.

A lot of good it's done him--LOL.

[wideawake]

"Maybe I bear the blame for some of it," he said.

STOP THE PRESSES!!! GORE SAID THAT?!?!?!

[I'm ALL Right!]

We could supply the FBI with a good deal of information re: fraud in SD, if they'd like to just browse the archives....

"The media is kind of weird these days on politics, and there are some major institutional voices that are, truthfully speaking, part and parcel of the Republican Party," said Mr. Gore in an interview with The Observer. "Fox News Network, The Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh—there’s a bunch of them, and some of them are financed by wealthy ultra-conservative billionaires who make political deals with Republican administrations and the rest of the media …. Most of the media [has] been slow to recognize the pervasive impact of this fifth column in their ranks—that is, day after day, injecting the daily Republican talking points into the definition of what’s objective as stated by the news media as a whole."

Ok. Fair enough, Al. But you do realize that every coin has two sides...

"The media is kind of weird these days on politics, and there are some major institutional voices that are, truthfully speaking, part and parcel of the Democratic Party," said Mr. Gore in an interview with The Observer. "The CNN News Network, The New York Times, Chris Matthews—there’s a bunch of them, and some of them are financed by wealthy ultra-liberal billionaires who make political deals with Democratic administrations and the rest of the media …. Most of the media [has] been slow to recognize the pervasive impact of this fifth column in their ranks—that is, day after day, injecting the daily Liberal talking points into the definition of what’s objective as stated by the news media as a whole."

Works just as well either way. Except the vast majority of major national media outlets are in fact liberal biased and Al and his Liberal hacks have nothing to complain about. They just can't stand it that the Conservative viewpoint is represented on a national scale in the media at all and will bitch and moan about it until the cows come home.
