-Caveat Lector-
The media is at it once again.
One would think that after the lies told by Gore during yesterday's
first Camp 2000 presidential debate, the national media would catch
on. Nope. Instead, the media spins for Gore. Rush Limbaugh was right
in wondering out load whether the national media will even bother.
Just check out the most recent info at the MRC's Media Reality Check
at http://www.mrc.org/news/reality/2000/Fax20001004pm.html
Gore lied about being with FEMA guy Witt out in Texas. Did you see
the interview with Charlie Gibson? The man actually looks to his
right as he lies right thru the interview. [Shifty eyes, shrugging of
the shoulders, etc. See link below.]
Why does Gore tend to lie and the media continue to cover for him?
Don't the reporters and copy boys and editors and everyone else over
in media land care that one of the candidate lies just so that he can
semm to be part of everything. [Maybe Gore did invent the calculator,
as Bush wondered?]
For example, in today's analysis, MRC's Tim Graham writes, "Gore
looked away and mumbled: "Well, I was there in Texas. I think James
Lee went to the same, went to the same, uh, fires, and I've made
so many trips with James Lee to these disaster sites. I was there, in
Texas, in Houston, with the head of the Texas Emergency Management
folks, and with all of the Federal Emergency Management folks. If
James Lee was there before, or after, then [shrugs shoulders], you
know, I got that wrong then, but uh, it was basically a compliment to
the way our FEMA team had handled things, and it was in the context
of a compliment to the Governor for the way he handled it for the
state of Texas."
Huh?
See for yourself and you tell me if Gore doesn't look shifty enough --

And, in that same clip & still, does Gibson actually look like he's
believing anything Gore is telling him? Not from _that_ clip.
Does anyone honestly believe that if it were Bush saying all these
things the media wouldn't call him on it? Already, in today's post-
debate "analysis" the media is calling Gore the winner.
Winner? If anything, Bush had Gore running on the defensive for most
of the debate. Gore didn't even answer the questions, instead
choosing to go with soundbites and quips, most of which turned out
clumsy anyway.
And what about those deep breaths and sighs? Is that presidential?
Gore says it's those mikes that'll pick up anything. Then why didn't
those same mikes pick up sighs coming from Bush? Maybe that's because
Bush was relaxed and composed on stage, even with liberal man Lehrer
blasting away [see everything you wanted to know about this PBS
fella -- http://www.mrc.org/news/reality/2000/Fax20001003.html.
However, some in the media admitted that perhaps this
pundit "analysis" wasn't really worth anything after all. See
http://www.mrc.org/news/cyberalert/2000/cyb20001004_extra.html#5
Incidentally, talking about media influence, according to today's
Washington Times, Bush is scheduled to appear on the Letterman show
on Oct. 14. Will be interesting to see how he handles himself against
Dave's "wit."
