No Gore on ABC News so far -- the other networks? n/t

[LizW]

[Tesha]

1. No CBS 13 minutes into the broadcast. (NT)

[LizW]

4. I saw a post that said NBC did cover it. n/t

[Tesha]

32. And CBS never did cover it. Damn Libruhl Media! (NT)

[chimpymustgo]

2. Nothing. Flipping between ABC and CBS. Damn.

3. If Al Gore makes a speech in a forest and nobody mentions it...

Sigh...

Seems to me there will be two types of MSM coverage of Gore's speech:

(a) None; and
(b) Al Gore is angry and/or crazy and/or doesn't represent the opinions of "real" Americans.

I hope I'm wrong.

9. Isn't that precisely what Al Gore was arguing, though?

His whole bit on television, Habermasian as his position now is, seemed to point to precisely this response. The question is, why are we still hoping against hope for television coverage?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Exactly. Given the commercialization of the MSM

and its inability and/or unwillingness to contribute anything to a rational public discourse, it's foolish to assume they'd cover a speech that addresses that topic -- any more than they'd cover a speech by Habermas himself. We've been conditioned to believe nothing matters unless it's on the teevee, so we are disappointed when something significant like Gore's speech gets scant coverage, but nothing will change unless we can effectively bypass the MSM altogether.

5. A short clip was shown on NBC. Quick switch to MLK Day coverage.

[FULL_METAL_HAT]

6. Nothing on PBS!

7. A nice report of it on NBC

[Marie26]

16. NBC devoted about 5 minutes to it

Brian Williams gave a brief summary of the "hard-hitting" speech & Gore's demand for an independent counsel; then played a brief clip of Gore saying the President had broken the law. They also included that Gore chose MLK day because MLK was also a victim of illegal wiretaps. I was very surprised to see it - pretty good coverage!

[bklyncowgirl]

19. NBC was pretty good

I suppose they could have said that Gore was declared the loser by the Supreme Court in a disputed election, which, had all the votes been counted, he would have clearly won--but it was decent coverage.

8. ABC has moved on to the effect of exercise on Alzheimers's. n/t

[Vinnie From Indy]

10. I might have missed it, but I didn't hear it on NPR radio

n/t

[G_j]

20. NPR had a very brief mention of it n/t

11. CNN had bits of his speech earlier this afternoon at 5PM

of course Bay Buchanan had to contradict everything he said and call it a speech made by someone who is preparing to run for the presidency in '08.

that is the thing that gets to me... they cannot let gore's, or murtha's, or howard dean's, or anyone else's words stand on their own merit. they have to knock them down with the likes of buchanan (pat, or bay), tweety matthews, wolf blitzer, you name it. they even said that republicans are now saying gore's words are words of anger and (i've forgetten what else they said about gore's speech, maybe they called it sour grapes or something like that--that is the implication anyhow).

i bet bush was snickering this morning as he read the emancipation proclamation as he falsely and hypocritically "honored" MLK.

12. Wolfie told us we would hear both sides of the Gore Remarks

He is such a scum.

[0007]

13. That doesn't surpirse me in the least.

[LizW]

14. There it is! Finally, on ABC.

About 10-12 seconds, seriously.

:eyes:

[i miss america]

15. CNN just did a teaser....

That tool Wolf Blitzer just said something about "Al Gore - was it just sour grapes?"

His show comes on at the top of the hour.

[rox63]

17. Jeebus Crikey!

Sour grapes, my ass! It's called treason, Wolfie... :mad:

[LizW]

22. Un. Freaking. Believable.

That unspeakable jackass.

That does it. What is the turd's e-mail address?

:grr:

[Dulcinea]

25. Try this.

I think there's a link on the CNN website.

[American liberal]

18. Gore got all of 20 seconds on ABC's World News...

[bbinacan]

21. I'll be damn, FAUX

had it on Britt Hume but, of course, the "panel" slammed it.:eyes:

[kevinbgoode]

29. That's the only reason they had it on. . .

After all, this is the official "War on Everything" network.

[bbinacan]

30. Yep. n/t

[babylonsister]

24. Gore got bupkus on CBS. nt

[Botany]

26. CBS nightly news tonight was a joke

nothing but
CBS = Viacom = Creative Response Concepts (swift boat P.R. firm) =
http://www.crc4pr.com/firm/clients.asp

these really are nazis who are trying to take over ...... evil fucks.

Al's Speech if we take back our country from these thugs is equal to Lincoln's Gettysburg address.

[kevinbgoode]

27. ABC is pretty much a rightwing religous news organization now

for godsakes, even Moran, their White House correspondent, is a graduate of a "conservative" journalism program. Besides, that network can't run a newscast without a "special report" on today's evangelicals.

[SmokingJacket]

28. Cnn.com home page! Whee!

Don't know how long it'll be there, but some people will see it who wouldn't otherwise...

[Catshrink]

31. Hope Keith O. does it justice!

Come on, Keith! Don't let us down.
