56. You mean after the press hounded him and 9/11 happened?
After the 2000 stolen election the media made it loud and clear that they had drank the kool-aid and they wanted Gore to go away.
The way the press treated Gore (go look at DailyHowler.com) in 2000 election cycle has been documented. It shows that the press wanted Gore to disappear.
They especially wanted all taint of their complicity in the 2000 debacle to go away after 9/11.
Gore spoke out forcible against the war in Iraq. He spoke out and called Trent Lott on his remarks concerning Strom. Did the media want to cover this? No, because they were beating the drums of war in 2002 to bolster their ratings. Then, instead of analyzing the reasons behind the war and remind * that even his own father waited until AFTER the midterm elections to call for war to de-politicize it, they switched to covering the sniper 24/7.
When has the press ever given Gore a fair shake? When have they given a fair shake to any Democratic leader?
