Debunking the NYT's sloppy hit piece on Gore
I've been increasingly amused by people in the corporate media over the last few months as they try desperately to keep the Republican party in absolute power and control of the United States. They grasp desperately at straws hoping if they can just tell one more lie or make one more false accusation that they can bail out their buddies on the radical right. Amusingly by the very same token you have the radical right screaming to the heavens that the media is against them on everything. You can't read this hit piece from the New York Times and not come to the conclusion that the corporate media and the Republican party are one continous entity. The notion of a left wing media is nothing more than Republican mythology. From one end of this country to the other there is one massive push by the corporate media to cover-up, or at least rationalize the radical right wing Republican party's actions at every single turn. These kinds of hit pieces are the flavor dejour for the corporate media these days, actually it harkens back to an early time in corporate media when it was referred to as yellow journalism.
