The reason the MSM didn't and won't cover Gore's speech is that

they are scared shitless. They know everything that Gore said was true and they know that they have been complicit in the undermining of our Republic and there seems to be no turning back. They also know that this administration has targeted and killed journalists all over the world who would dare to report the truth and oppose this administration. They know they didn't speak up then and now they are in the crosshairs. It will take divine intervention (which has happened in the past) to set us on the right course and return us to the values intended by the founders of this Republic.

2. I'd say they didn't cover it out of FORCE OF HABIT. They didn't cover 95%

of Kerry's speeches when he was running for president.

Media will not give Democrats proper coverage or reportage. THEY WON'T. Their corporate masters will not allow Dems and their issues to be heard by the American people in any significant way.

Now, if it was something truly important like, did you see how Dems made poor Mrs. Alito cry?

lepers. Cnn actually asked the other day if Alito's wife's tears had backfired on the Dems, as if the Dems had intended to make her cry. It's scary.

3. Gore told us not to trust any of the TV media. He said TV's the problem.

I bet that CNNMSNBCFOXCBSNBCABCPBS really wanted to hear that.
I glad someone had the guts to call a spade a spade as concerns the US TV media and their partisan non-coverage and analysis of politics and current events.

6. That's exactly right....

He mentioned the extensive essays found in the Federalists Papers that Americans (at one time) could read and debate....compared to the PROHIBITION of honest debate that we now have today.

5. MSM is as reliable as the media was in the Soviet Union

during the Communist era. Just like then, we need to construct an alternative way of getting out the message. There's been some great suggestions here about making copies of the speech on CDs to distribute.
