The Al Gore smear
Like any journalist, I viewed the allegations of Al Gore’s hypocrisy with skepticism. Whenever a ball starts rolling exculsively within the conservative noise machine, only to eventually roll into the mainstream media, it has to be tainted. The first I’d heard of it was on the drive to work this morning on Glenn Beck’s radio show. The “facts” for the hypocrisy stems from a special interest group nobody has heard of.
As can easily be predicted, it was all a bunch of noise.
Let’s kill this one off before it gets too much steam.
That sounds about Right. Assume that information that corroborates your biased opinion, from whatever source, is perfectly legitimate without further inspection while scrutinizing the contrary factual evidence to death. Could it be that the conservatives care more about their agenda than the truth of the situation?
