The new and improved Al Gore ha actually taken on the media and the dangers of a corporate consolidated media.

But the old Al Gore went along with the very cause of the problem, which was media deregulation.

That's the problem Democrats have had. They have not gone at the core of the problems we and complain about. Healthcare, media, outsourcing etc. It's all a result of several basic problems 1)Increased concentration of Wealth and Power 2)Deregulation of fundamental industries and services 3)Privatization of the Public Sector 4)The lack of recognition of these problems and a traditional liberal/progressive message from our side of the fence. This has enabled the phony right-wing CONservative agenda to go unchallenged.

Gore flirted with actually addressing these issues in 2000, but he stepped back and reverted to this lack of a core message in 2000.
