"Gore sharply criticizes Bush on terrorism" and nobody in the media...
...covers it:


Al Gore's speech...given in 2006 at Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. You can find it at c-span.org.

We need to contact the media and let them know we disapprove of the Cheney coverage. JMHO.

1. I was there that day,
and I will never forget it. He said things that needed to be said, but the media didn't care.

...may think they are 'trying harder' now, but in reality, they are just adding to the problem by covering Cheney this way.

2. I remember watching the speech on TV, probably C Span and crying with relief
at the things he was saying. It was such a sense of relief to feel like there were still some sane people in the world who would get on a stage and speak some truth. I think that speech was a little before The Assualt on Reason came out, which is still a great book.

6. I agree. But I almost think it's not about 'reminding' them...
...necessarily. I think it's TELLING them, because they are so oblivious. I'll never forget that day, either.

7. I don't think they're oblivious
They deliberately ignored Al Gore and they deliberately welcomed Cheney despite the fact that the Obama Administration is barely four months old.
