New York Mag: Yes, Bush v. Gore Did Steal the Election

[Uncle Joe]

39. I'm convinced the corporate media did it primarily because Gore was the leading political champion

for opening the Internet to the people.

The Internet magnified the American Peoples' freedom of speech power more than anything since the First Amendment was adopted over two hundred years ago.

However the corporate media came to view the growing Internet as threatening their top down, one way business model of telling the American People what reality was for profit and power.

It was the instantaneous, mass two way communication and dissemination of information that scared them, the corporate media couldn't control it, the genie was out of the bottle, having said that, they would and will certainly try.

The ownership and upper management saw the writing on the wall and as their enmity of Gore grew, they decided to play Zeus to Gore's Prometheus having their puppet pundits play the role of the vulture taking bites from Gore's significant credibility with continuous slander and libel ie: "Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet," etc. etc. etc. for the better part of two years prior to the selection of 2000 while they gave an incompetent Bush a free pass to the most powerful job in the land.

In the final analysis the race of 2000 was close enough for Bush to steal because Gore championed the Internet and the established corporate media absolutely had it in for him. If the corporate media actually had the grace and integrity to give Gore credit for his leadership and legislative achievements instead of slandering him about it, he would have won in a landslide.
