Will We See Gore TV? (NOW YOU CAN WATCH YOUR TV FALL ASLEEP!)

Agreed. Nothing like letting the masses hear the unfiltered, unadultrated leftist ideology to scare the hell out of them. The first election after it goes on the air, the libs get about 5% of the vote.

[liberalnot]

what's wrong with npr and pubic tv?

they're taxpayer funded and they've never met a liberal-socialist they didn't like.

they also speak in a phony, upper-class tone of voice.

Al Gore, The Maxi Series
Episode 224- "Lockbox!"

[tkathy]

Hyenas mating would actually be interesting.

[chimera]

Sounds like a risky scheme to me. Maybe Al can share his iced tea recipe?

[finnman69]

I love it. A liberal black hole that will suck their energy and money into oblivion. Where do I sign up.

"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," Gore said. "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."

Acocrding to Gore and the other liberal kooks like Eric Alterman, this Hawaii island of moderate to right leaning news sources dominates over the vast Pacific Ocean sized liberal/left dominated media.

You can send your check to Gore's lockbox

[samanella]

Yeah, Clintoon was such a hit on 60 Minutes that Al wants to top him (sarcasm off)

[OldFriend]

Winnebago Winnie carrying the lock box?

[Grampa Dave]

Picture of Bill Clinton during his Africa tour as president, doing what he does!

It breaks down into two components with the leftist-idiot-vermin:

• The left cannot handle the fact that conservative opinion is getting out to the public. They hate it. They have dominated all media for so long that the fact that conservative opinion now has an outlet, and is actually being heard, galls them to no end. You need to understand that this is why they are reacting in this way, why all this "need to counter conservative dominated media" b.s. is being thrown around by them - they have never had to face a divergent opinion in the media before. They have never had to compete in the marketplace of ideas before. The fact that they are having to compete (even though they still remain dominant in so far as they hold all the major media outlets in broadcast and print) and the fact that they are being beaten in the marketplace by a smaller conservative presence, scares the living bejeezus out of them. There is no underestimating just how frightened they are of the rise of talk radio and Fox News.
• The left thinks they are losing because "they just can't get their message out". They are slightly disingenuous when it comes to this statement. There's a side of them that deals with their ideology like religion - and to admit that their ideology is rejected (since they treat politics as religion, meaning "the State" is their God and government is their church) would be the equivalent of a Christian having to admit that their God is dead, their religion is rejected. The left just cannot do this - to admit they are losing, that their ideology is rejected by the majority, would be to admit they were wrong. That will never happen. To admit they were wrong would be to admit their God is dead. It would be giving up their essence. It would mean losing an integral inner part of their own being without which they could not face another day. So, in part, what they're doing is like a drowning man desperately flailing around and treading water, gasping for air. Part of this move is an act of desperation. They have to believe that their "message just isn't getting out" because to admit the alternative would be to cease to exist for many of them. It'll never happen. There is a side of them, though, that is disingenuous - there's a part of them that knows that they cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas. A side which knows their ideology is built on foundation of sand, and that when challenged, it crumbles. There's no substance to it. It's a paper tiger. It's a sand castle. Push against the doctrine of liberal orthodoxy and it folds like a house of cards. A part of each and every liberal knows this; and it they bury it deep. They won't ever admit it. So the drive for this "media network" is really about trying to find a way to justify their existence and their ideology. They know, though, deep down, that it will fail. They know why previous efforts have failed. But they must keep trying. Because the alternative is just too horrible for them to face.

So the threat they face from our side is real. They are truly terrified of it. They know deep down that the public, given a choice, rejects their ideology completely. They know, deep down, why Phil Donahue failed, and Fox News Channel dominates the ratings. They know why Rush, Hannity, Savage, etc, are successful on radio, and they have never had a single successful liberal on talk radio.

They know.

But they must keep swimming, or they know they will drown.

What we're witnessing is a death struggle...a drowning, gasping, struggle on the part of the left that cannot deal with what is happening to them.

That's Trailer Tipper!

GORE TV..."We Report...You fall asleep..."

[PhiKapMom]

NO, NO, and NO!

I like to get a good night's sleep not have nightmares!

[areafiftyone]

Well you know watching Al Gore makes my eyelids droop or is it a tic (I'm not sure!)

[rs79bm]

If Gore wants to spend $10 Million on a radio network, let him. Nobody is going to listen. the liberals have plenty of outlets, including all 3 major networks and a handful of cable channels. Now, with the advent of 1 or 2 conservative channels, Gore gets pissed off. Apparently he doesn't believe in differing viewpoints or hearing the other side. His whole argument is rather childish, actually.

[Wild Thing]

LOL too funny. No one will watch Gore, well maybe his wife, LMAO or maybe not. hahahahaha
