I'm not in any way discounting the terrible suffering and loss of innocent life that's happening right now in Gaza. It must stop immediately if not sooner. Having spent 15 of my more than 20 years of working on dem election campaigns in Florida, I'm well aware that Nader's big lie that there were no differences between Al Gore and bushthief siphoned off enough crucial Al Gore votes in Florida to make it possible for bushthief to get close enough to have his little brother Florida Governor and Florida campaign co-chair/Secretary of State steal the election for him by not counting all of the uncounted Florida votes. Nader's $5miilion tv add campaign that ran tv ads touting his big lie in crucial states like Florida was paid for by the Repug Leadership Council, a subsidiary of the Repug party. These ugly truths must never be forgotten.
I totally agree with you that the media trashing Al Gore was all about preserving their financial bottom line and their monopoly on information. I also think that the Rehnquist 5 was looking to preserve repug control of the SCOTUS which they've succeeded in doing. Rehnquist's grudge against Senator Al Gore, Sr. was a contributing factor along with the other Rehnquist 5's many conflicts of interest I think that the tiniest of cracks on that media monopoly have now begun to appear. The new progressive bloggers and other progressive online websites got the front row seating at the dem convention while the legacy media was seated behind them. V.P. Harris's refusal to answer the legacy media's stupid and pro orange turd questions is another good move. I hope this continues. I also very much appreciate it that you're the DU'er who regularly post articles on DU about the issues that people's choice for President in 2000 is currently working on which I personally very much enjoy reading..
