In reply to the discussion: The Big Picture is never acknowledged [View all]GoreWon2000
(1,461 posts)As Al Gore fought to have the uncounted Florida votes counted as Florida election law clearly required in 2000, the pro W media put its anti democracy view on full display. Never mind that several hundred thousand legally cast ballots located in the largest and most heavily democratic voting counties in Florida had not been counted and still sit uncounted in the Florida archives to this day. The pro W media made it very clear that they didn't care that these many thousands of pivotal votes hadn't been counted and that the GOP controlled SCOTUS had installed the wrong person in the White House. With W illegally installed in the White House, the big corporations that own the media were going to get their big tax cuts and make huge profits from all of the campaign ads that campaigns would be forced to fundraise for and run with no campaign finance reforms and that's exactly what's happened. Now our country teeters on the verge of a dictatorship because of it.
