Particularly about the diseased press corps that in 2000 practically handed the presidency to an unqualified little waste of skin named George W. Bush in preference to the immensely talented and qualified Al Gore, who would have been one of America's great presidents. Somerby continues his devastating critique here. And don't forget his incomparable archives, either. He has, over the years, presented a thorough and utterly damning case for the proposition that the national press deliberately and relentlessly lied about and smeared Al Gore from 1997 onward, an attack that made the election of 2000 close enough for the right wingers to steal.
