"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."

How AlGore can say this with a straight face is beyond my understanding. The libs have almost complete control of broadcast and print media. They have their own billionaires, such as Ted Turner, using their media outlets to push lib agendas - but if conservative elements do the same, it's suddenly something to take notice of? What a crock.

Well it seems Geraldine Ferraro agrees with Al .. she was just on Fox News claiming that conservative media did in her and Mondale in 1984.

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