Bob Novak: The idea that ANYONE would listen to Al Gore on anything....
Let's be clear....Al Gore is a brilliant man who won the popular vote in 2000 and would have taken office if the Supreme Court had allowed the full Florida recount to proceed.

Here's how the GOP media easily manipulates America: Al Gore is now a lunatic loser with no credibility. But, after his 1996 loss in a landslide, Bob Dole was still held in great stead by the media and is still called upon today to give voice as a statesman of choice for the mainstream media.

John Kerry is now a pathetic loser/traitor who can send out press releases and hold news conferences that get no notice from any media, even though he held Bush to the closest election of any incumbent president. No landslide there, but, the media has relegated him to the trash bin.

Byron York gets on air with his diatribe against the left wing conspiracists and blames Kerry as a loser candidate, while claiming that MoveOn and Michael Moore are the only reasons the Democrats were close, and at the same time his cohorts on the right are saying that MoveOn and Michael Moore are the reason that Kerry lost.

They contradict themselves with impunity, but it is also well-planned. By blaming and mocking ALL of the Dem strengths as perceived weaknesses they create the idea that NONE of them can depend on each other to work together in the future.

Bob Novak's slam at Gore today is typical of the RW spin machine that controls almost all broadcast media.

If there was a real media in this country, and a real justice system, Bob Noval would be in jail or under scrutiny for his part in the Plame leak, but, instead we have the constant cover-up and distraction tactic that shifts the focus of the entire case on to two journalists with much less of a connection to the case.

The GOP control of the media MUST BE EXPOSED.

9. The shameless bastard tried to talk over the Dem making the point that WJC
judges were blocked in committee, so they could not get to the floor for an "up or down vote."

You notice how the duplicitous Rethugs now make the point of saying "once they hit the floor." Liddy Dole used this construction today in a speech on the Senate floor. We are on to them, but that is not enough!

Because, as usual, the corporate media is not doing their job. Too many in the recent Washington Post poll were unaware of Tom Delay's, shall we say, "ethical lapses."

If the media doesn't report it, and beat the drum about it, most Amerikuns remain clueless.

6. I use to do an email blitz every night to the media.
They simply are not doing their jobs. Saying "Candidate A says this and Candidate B says this", with no investigation, isn't journalism. It's beng a parrott.

And now look what has happened to this country. ALl because the media AREN'T DOING THEIR JOBS.

7. They have to give a reason to ignore, since if you listen, you will be
convinced.

The RW has to call people losers, or marginal, or evil, or some other reason to delegitimaize opposition on some ground OTHER THAN being wrong, because the last is what they can't show.

10. Novak is looking more like a lizard every day.
No offense to lizards, of course.

His evil is slowly but surely oozing out of his pores and sweat glands; he's turning into Gollum.

13. Get a Clue, novakula! America is not
being led down the fascist path FOREVER! We care what the real 43rd President has to say.

Who cares what that monkeybush has to say? And who really cares what you say? you should be ashamed and hiding your head for eternity..a USA traitor.

25. Speech excellent! If anyone has standing to speak about the rule of law,
Gore does, after the hideous, made for Dubya, Supreme Court Bush v. Gore decision.

23. If there were any Dems with balls..
... who would go on TV and talk about the Repugs like they talk about us, we might get some air time.

But nobody gets air time talking like an English gentleman at a tea party.

So far, the only Dem I reglarly hear saying what needs to be said is Harry Reid, most of the rest of them are still stuck in 1970.

Yes, we have a lot of media bias in this country. But that is by no means the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the Repugs have learned how to use the media and we either don't know how or are unwilling to do so.
