Take it to the Washington Times for this!
As you all know I am an avid Gore Supporter. Now I need your help confronting a media lie and bad journalism.

Here is what I am talking about:

This is from the Washington Times:
http://washingtontimes.com/national/20030804-112056-2488r.htm

Gore-y details
There has been some hubbub afoot: Could Al Gore be mulling a run for president in 2004? Perhaps. But there are many who wish he would give it a rest.
According to an online poll (www.vote.com) of some 6,000 respondents released yesterday, 80 percent said Mr. Gore should not attempt another try at the White House.
"Al Gore had his shot and he lost. Don't beat a dead horse and stay out of the 2004 race," suggested the naysayers.

Not only are they being biased by using VOTE.COM but they used an unscientific, freeped poll as a reference. This is bad journalism. Al Gore wants us to fight this type of media bias. Refute them with the real Gore polls: http://draftgore.com/news.htm

Can you help us? Our media watch group will be on this tomorrow, but the more the merrier.

To contact the author of this: Contact Jennifer Harper at jharper@washingtontimes.com or 202/636-3085.

Here are where we are located: http://algoresupport.proboards19.com/index.cgi?board=grassroots&action=display&num=1060150430&start=0

Your assistance and help are appreciated by us and Mr Gore for confronting this right wing media!

1. I don't know why you want to bother correcting the Washington Times
They don't care about journalistic standards. Why not focus on actual news organizations?

2. Well they will be in quite a suprise tommorrow
I have emailed over 500 people in our group and posted this on there and the Gore boards. They will listen. We hold them accountable. We try because if no one stands up to them, it will only get worse.
