I guess we just have to consider whether the audio interview clip that was provided by the Business and Media Institute Web site was an accurate representation of what Al Gore actually said, and also whether what they said about it was useful to the debate. My opinion is that it was not useful.

I'm not surprised that the BMI article was picked up by other conservative outlets, nor am I surprised that a liberal Web site characterizes conservative sources as "right-wing".

I think what gets me the angriest in the whole terminology used department is how you accurately described that web site as liberal, yet the main stream media (by this I mean ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/PBS/NYT/WP/LAT/Time/Newsweek etc) NEVER use the terms liberal, leftwing, socialist, communist, etc, but always ensures to identify the right wing, conservative media outlets, web sites, blogs, etc.

So when I see right-wing media machine, etc, etc, half a dozen times my eyes glaze over and my give-a-$hit meter is pegged at about zero.
