Palpitation time! - Fox reports Gore endorsed Obama


Fox News ran a chyron today that said "Al Gore Has Already Endorsed Barack Obama". Not true! Politicos have been holding their breath over who Gore will endorse, but the former Veep refuses to dish. Just last week Gore told the Associated Press that people need to cool their jets when it comes to him making an endorsement. He asked the reporter, "What have we got, five months left?"
Looks like Fox News needs to cool it's jets!

7. I've said it before and I'll say it a million times
When they have to tell you that they're fair and balanced, that's a red flag that you know they aren't.

Like the racist who always talks about "Look, I have a black friend!"

They've given up on Hillary.

12. Ok -- we know for sure that Gore did not endorse Obama.
Fox said it, it must be wrong.

13. They hate Gore so by doing this they diss Obama
and work on their base. The truth isn't the issue with Faux
it is to manipulate their listeners, who already hate Gore.

15. They probably derived that from a campaign answer
Yeah, I went there so you all don't have to.

Excerpt:

WALLINGFORD, Pa. — Democrat Barack Obama said Wednesday he talks regularly with former vice president Al Gore and would consider putting him in a Cabinet-level position or higher.

A woman at a town hall asked the Illinois senator if elected president would he consider tapping the former vice president for his Cabinet, or an even higher level office, to address global warming.

“I would,” Obama said. “Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He’s somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I’m already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now.”

17. Did Gore's endorsement help much the last time?
I don't think so.
