At the post Oscar interviews several of the media called Al Gore, winner of Best Documentary, Mr President. Was this just sheer stupidity on their part or refusal to let go the 2000 election?
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Al Gore has been out of politics for nearly eight years, but you wouldn't have known it backstage at the Oscars.
Some journalists addressed him as Mr. President, although Gore lost the closely contested 2000 election to President Bush. Others called him Mr. Vice President.
Gore, whose film "An Inconvenient Truth" captured the Oscar for documentary, pretended at one point during the awards show to be announcing his candidacy for president. But backstage he sang a different tune.
"I do not have plans to become a candidate for office again," the former vice president told reporters.

Why so you can turn around ans call us liars?
All media is bias. Egyptian hieroglyphics are Biased to favor Ravens. Renaissance paintings favor the view or the Catholic Church. And the Internet is the realm of pop-up marketing.

The media is biased.
The bias is not simply right or left. It's not liberal or conservative.
It's driven by other factors. At times it's old money vs new. At times it's nationalism vs one world. The bottom line is that there are organizations who's sole intent is to alter our manifest destiny.
Funny thing what I remember most about Clinton's time was not cigars, but rather the large role afforded pacific region lobbyists. To the point where one was indited for influence peddling.
The net result china has expanded it's economic influence. Which wouldn't be bad, except it doesn't support a stop to things like iran going nuke. It also doesn't support any green at all. It's an inconvenient truth that if we restrain our energy use they won't.
So who influences the media - $.
Participate in government.

i'd say that Fox information is bias. yet so is CNN, ABC, NBC, and a bunch of different "information" shows. that's unusual to come again throughout the time of a information application that isn't bias. An occasion of it is the way the Israel/Lebanon conflict replace into portrayed contained in distinctive media retailers. Fox confirmed pictures of Hezbollah with rockets and in basic terms approximately each and all of the others confirmed pictures of ruble with crying females. the two are actual, yet they don't look to be giving an entire tale, in basic terms portray the image the way they think of it is going to benefit. Even digicam adult males have been given in hassle on those memories for "fixing" pictures to make a ingredient. I hardly ever hear actual information anymore.

I've always heard and took it for granted that there's a liberal bias in the media from various outlets. But when I sat back and looked at the big picture and numbers: The top radio hosts are the likes of Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Dr. Laura. Fox News has a pretty solid grip on ratings also. In addition, Air America could not stay afloat despite their unabashed liberal bias. So I think certain examples can be magnified for the left. But if ratings equate to influence, the numbers don't lie...

Gee, I wonder if the media is biased. They:
-refer to the President as "Mr. Bush" (not as his proper title)
-twist news reports about Iraq and the Middle East to make everything look like Bush is the bad guy (even for things that are out of his hands, like hurricane Katrina)
-concoct false statistics to make the conservatives/Republicans/the President "decrease" in popularity
-are just a bunch of ding-dongs with the power to brodcast their thought and opinions on the air for those with no backbone to believe in
With all those reasons...I'd say that the media IS biased!

I heard this morning on Fox & Friends about a weapons cache that was found in Iraq. They think that it originated in Iran. I went to the other news network, I think CNN, and watched for about 2 hours and they mentioned absolutely nothing about it. So yes I do believe that the media is biased. You rarely hear any good news on the subject of the Iraq war on the mainstream news networks.

Of course the media is biased. But so is Hollywood as a whole. Only in Hollywood would a work of fiction win best documentary.
Global warming is not the catastrophe it is made out to be. Al Gore is misinformed.

I love it when liberals show their true blue baloney colors. They all cheered like crazy for Gore and his fact-bending movie, applauded Melissa Ethridge for her global-warming "speech", then they all climbed into their gas-guzzling limousines or boarded jets that consume mass quantities of fossil fuel. They want US to act a certain way, but it apparently doesn't apply to them. Liberals are phony. The liberal press is laughable. How in the world do they find people to take them seriously?!? Idiots, all of them...
