Ambrose devotes this Points of View on one person: Al Gore. Ambrose reads from Robert Parry's article 'U.S. News Media's 'War on Gore'' - Consortium News.

When historians sort out what happened to the United States at the start of the 21st Century, one of the mysteries may be why the national press corps ganged up like school-yard bullies against a well-qualified Democratic presidential candidate while giving his dimwitted Republican opponent virtually a free pass.

Robert "Rob" Redding Jr. - an artist, author, radio host and journalist - has been called "one of the most respected names in the media". Redding, a nonpartisan nonvoting independent known as "America's Independent Voice," is perhaps so respected because of his experience as a member of the Washington, D.C. press corps - including his time as a former reporter for The Washington Times.
