The Journal’s all over the place with this lead editorial. It leads off with Al Gore accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, then descends into a cautionary tale on media accuracy for this coming election season, focusing on what Gore didn’t say in the 2000 presidential election. Talk about old news.
OK, so let’s focus on what Gore did say, during yesterday’s acceptance speech:
(Gore) drew a parallel between leaders who ignore the climate crisis and those who didn’t act as Nazi Germany rearmed before World War II.
“Too many of the world’s leaders are still best described in the words Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler’s threat: ‘They go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful to be impotent.'”
Feel better now? The mainstream media’s infatuation with Gore continues to amaze me, even if it is old news.
