EVEN McCLATCHY IS ON THE GET-GORE BUS

This is from Matt Stearns:
But even armed with a Nobel Prize, or maybe especially armed with a Nobel Prize, Al Gore is still, well, Al Gore: Deep-sighing, slow-talking, lecture-us-all Al Gore. He's no longer just pedantic. Now, he's pedantic to applause from the Hollywood Left and from Old Europe. Even redeemed, however, he may play better in Stockholm than he does in Stockton.

That's just a small part of the anti-Gore bias in the MSM. Bob Somerby notes that the WaPo has been on a anti-Gore jihad for the entire year, including "an entire report about how fat he is." The last dig was exactly one of the "criticisms" wingnuts levelled against Michael Moore after Fahrenheit 9-11 came out. Somerby also notes that in 1999-2000, the NY Times was also merciless and unfair toward Gore.
