What Gore Said (to get Kurtz & al balistic):


"The media is kind of weird these days on politics, and
there are some major institutional voices that are,
truthfully speaking, part and parcel of the Republican
Party," said Mr. Gore in an interview with The
Observer. "Fox News Network, The Washington
Times, Rush Limbaugh—there’s a bunch of them, and
some of them are financed by wealthy ultra-conservative billionaires who make
political deals with Republican administrations and the rest of the media …. Most
of the media [has] been slow to recognize the pervasive impact of this fifth
column in their ranks—that is, day after day, injecting the daily Republican talking
points into the definition of what’s objective as stated by the news media as a
whole."

It's relevant to note that this (and another quote) is all that made it in the NY Observer acrid article out of a phone interview with Al Gore, complete with unflatering drawing. The bulk of the article contained peeved reactions from RNC and "lifelong Democrats" which in it of itself makes Gore's point.
