Reply #30: I agree to a certain extent, however I believe the primary reason [View All]

the race was close enough for them to steal, was the endless corporate media slander and trashing of Al Gore's integrity and credibility. I believe the corporate media were motivated in large part because Al Gore championed the Internet while he was in Congress. They saw the Internet as a growing threat against their monopoly on information, information = money, power and influence, so they played Zeus to his Prometheus. The corporate media didn't want the primary political champion of the Internet in power. They were intent on attacking his credibility and integrity above all else, because they had been busy making integrity and credibility the central issue for the previous eight years with the Clinton Witch hunt prior to the selection of 2000, raise your hands if you ever saw Clinton hug Lewinsky more than fifty times. This is precisely why Bush ran on "restoring honor and integrity to the White House". Whenever Al Gore started to pull away, the corporate media went off on him again on some fabricated B.S. regarding his integrity, some of them even admit they just wanted to keep the race close.
