Al Gore seems to have misplaced his tin foil hat. Speaking to the New York Observer, he blamed the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy for poisoning the media with a conservative agenda.

"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," whined Gore.

"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," he said, apparently speaking about Rupert Murdoch.

"And then pretty soon the mainstream media goes out and disingenuously takes a so-called objective sampling, and lo and behold, these RNC talking points are woven into the fabric of the zeitgeist." Zietgeist? I knew that word of the day toilet paper would come in handy.

Gore's comments, combined with Daschle's whining last week, just goes to show how conservatives are breaking the liberal grip on the American media. As the democratic party creeps further and further to the left, their bitching and griping is starting to border on paranoid schizophrenia.
