lucystone (46 posts) Nov-30-01, 09:31 PM (ET) "REUTERS CORRECTION: Al Gore Restaurateur Story Withdrawn" It's like the Rolling Stone stuff all over again: Gore is misquoted and Leno makes a joke about it and suddenly fiction is truth... The Nov. 29 LAGOS, Nigeria, story headlined ``Al Gore (news - web sites) says now restaurateur in Tennessee'' is wrong and is withdrawn. The story was based on an erroneous hearing of Gore's remarks. According to a transcript provided by a representative for Gore, the former vice president said ``... we stopped at a little family restaurant in Tennessee. We were eating there by ourselves. It was a low-cost restaurant called Shoney's.'' There will be no substitute story. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011130/pl/people_gore_dc_2.html   Alert Edit | Reply | Top

beware_of_god (280 posts) Nov-30-01, 09:54 PM (ET) 3. "It would be freeper bait..." Imagine how the freepers would terrorize the place and its patrons. They've probably already had the thread to brainstorm some attacks! He's not MY dictator!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

Avalon Sparks (121 posts) Dec-01-01, 07:19 PM (ET) 4. "After reading the Rolling Stone article" regarding the times Gore was misquoted. I simply cannot believe the inaptitude of reporters to get his quotes correct. This is freaking ridiculous and it pisses me off.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top
