Just Musing Here (Gore/LIEberman, Kerry/Edwards): Why Did Gore & Kerry

make a choice they later regretted. Not that that's necessarily the case, but I was just wondering . . .

Al Gore would've felt he had much more leeway in his choice. With nothing but relentless media coverage of that incident, coupled with Clinton looking the American People in the camera lens and and adamantly lying about it, which thereby turned a family betrayal in to a national one and thus set the stage for the media slanders and libel against Al Gore's integrity. The corporate media knew that Bush could never beat Gore on competency, achievements, the issues or experience but by making integrity the central issue, they could smear Al Gore to the point of making the race close enough for Bush to steal.

I believe the corporate media's main motivation for doing that to Gore was precisely because he was the primary political champion of the Internet and as the Internet grew in power and influence the corporate media came to resent him for his legislative achievements in opening it up for the people.
