Gore's Globe Groupies: whitewash

Today's Globe & Mail ends its gushing Al Gore feature:

"Mr. Gore has his critics. They wonder why he didn't talk much about global warming during the 2000 election, why was he able to accomplish so little on climate change when he was in office.

He prefers to deliver his message directly to the people, undiluted by the news media. He asked that reporters not attend the U of T event, and at one earlier in the day in Montreal. He declined an interview with the Globe and Mail."

Could it be that his royal enviro-highness cannot stand the heat? Or is it just that he doesn't believe in a free press, in its and his responsibilities? Again, an enviro-ayatollah who is not just better than you but is even better than his groupies in the media. It's an 'inconvenient truth', there's no use even having a discussion, shut up and listen to me. The other side has no right to dissent and the press, even a lapdog press, does not even have the right to be in attendance! Did Gore remove his footwear, sit cross-legged on a rug with a turban on and giggle excessively??? Did he rail or Rael?

Today's 'article' was written by supposed science 'reporter' Anne McIlroy, who, like too many journalists these days, ended up sounding more like Ben Mulroney than Ben Bradlee. Can you imagine if John Baird or Stephen Harper refused not only to do interviews but barred the media from their lectures?

Global warming? Oh pooh. Smells like someone's baking brownies.
