CBS nightly news tonight was a joke NOTHING ON GORE'S SPEECH
I missed just a little bit of it but not a word on Al Gore's Speech.

CBS = Viacom = Swift Boat P.R. firm = Plant the crying Mrs. Alito story.

http://www.crc4pr.com/firm/clients.asp a list of their clients.

We have to hammer this story and get everybody to hear Gore's speech
which if we are able to take our country back will be the equivalent of
Lincoln's Gettysburg address.



Our real President if not for one diebold machine in Volusia County, Florida that magically
took 16,000 votes from Gore after ABC, CBS, & NBC had called the race for Gore.

2. Maybe the strategy here is to call and say...
..."What happened with Al Gore's speech? I didn't see it because I was at work today, but I thought FOR SURE (insert relevant network's name here) would cover it on the evening news. Boy did YOU people let me down!"

NGU.

5. I didn't see it but NBC spent 5 minutes on it.
ABC 12 - 15 seconds.

6. One minute on NBC - I checked the clock
But at least they played it straightforwardly and brough up the MLK Jr. angle of Gore's speech.

Will Olbermann cover it?

9. I don't mean to sound harsh,
What kind of coverage does this speech deserve?

But you would expect wide ranging of coverage a Walter Mondale speech criticizing Reagan in 1986?

Al Gore is an ex vice-president that has been out of office for 5 years, and seemingly has no further political aspirations.

Potential 2008 candidates don't even get the time of day this early in an election cycle.

10. "One of the boldest political speeches in decades."
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2372872

Today’s speech was no ordinary political event. It represented one of the boldest political attacks on the President by a major leader since the Civil War. A former Vice President, Senator, member of the House of Representatives, has just accused the President of the United States of willfully lying to the people of the United States in order to accumulate unconstitutional powers, subvert the Constitution, and change the face of American democracy from a government that seeks the rule of law to one that relies on the rule of men, in this case President George W. Bush. Lincoln was attacked for trying to ruin a way of life and accused of destroying the fabric of the constitution. Roosevelt was charged with trying to create a welfare state. Nixon was accused of specific crimes which violated his oath of office. But no President since the Civil War has been accused by a former Vice President or President of deliberately trying to end Constitutional rule through the unlawful accumulation of power; trying to impose tyranny on the people of the United States.
