What's a single photo on a website compared to a movie playing in hundreds of theaters?

Larry J — 7/15/2004 2:45:38 PM (archived)

The Gore photo exaggerated his foaming at the mouth ranting, but it's not inconsistent with his words and how he spoke them. All you have to do is listen to a soundtrack of Gore's recent speeches and it isn't hard to picture him looking rather like that photo, perhaps with his mouth not so widely open.

The F9/11 movie is full of lies, is playing in hundreds of theaters here and abroad, and received the top award at the Canne Film Festival. It was featured on news programs and was reviewed (mostly favorably) in many papers and magazines. In short, F9/11 has received thousands of times the exposure of that one photo.

Maybe you think that's equivalent, but it fails the reality test. It's even more ridiculous than listening to people complain about the bias of Fox News but thinking the bias of CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post, etc. is a non-issue.
