If Gore provides a broadcast platform, will Bob Somerby FINALLY be heard?

[ProfessorPlum]

Somerby and Gore were apparently roomates in college at one point (along with Tommy Lee Jones?).

One can only imagine the howls of the GOP and the wonderment of the American people if Somerby were to outline this story, for example, on Gore and "inventing the internet" to a national audience . . .

1. That would be a dream come true for me.

Also shows with Robert Parry and Joe Conason.

2. Actually, having seen him speak in public forums....he doesn't

come across that well. Way too dry. I like his website though.

3. imagine if he scripted it, and then got producers to create

visual stories around the timelines and outlines he researches . . . video clips from the talking heads shows, headlines from the newspapers. It would be damning for these presstitutes.

4. In a sense, that's what they often do on the Daily Show....

and it hasn't made that big of difference. Sorry, in a cynical mood today.

5. Cynical is fine with me

but that isn't really what they do at the Daily Show. They show brief bursts of inanity, which is great.

Somerby strings the tale together and shows just what tools the media are, and how easily the GOP manipulates them. All in context, all in a timeline.

Check out the link above and see how he does this with the "internet" story, and ask yourself if it wouldn't cause some scales to fall from eyes . . .

6. Well they do brief bits of inanity....but they often

also show a Repub stating they didn't say something...and then quick-cut it with video of the Repub saying it in the past.
