Will Al Gore face his inconvenient truths about our stolen elections?
by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman
May 18, 2007

Al Gore has just made his second major contribution to our national political dialog.

His first, "An Inconvenient Truth," has helped make the perils of global warming real to the American mainstream.

Now his "Assault on Reason" is excerpted in Time Magazine. With it he paints a compelling portrait of a democracy being obliterated by money and television.

The content is very much on point. But the former Vice-President must finally face the huge personal responsibility he bears for much of the problem.

First, he was an important party to the complex but catastrophic Telecommunications Act of 1996. This Clinton-era corporate goodie bag enabled a huge spike in the monopolization of the electronic media Gore now decries.

1. Interesting point...

Maybe he's not too quick to jump on the anti-corporate media bandwagon, because if it weren't for the massive amounts of corporate media we wouldn't have been able to see-LIVE EARTH! He's counting on them to promote the basics of his causes. However, I agree- dear Albert- let's talk about election thieves!

2. I read the entire article when it first came out

...and although I rarely disagree with Bob and Harvey, I did this time.

Gore's biggest contribution to the 2000 sElection was based in his naive belief that the Reeps cared about America . He should come out swinging now, and I wish he would; I am quite disappointed in him for not doing so.

But blaming Gore for the Occupation is waaaaaaaaaaay off target.
