Editor's Note (Ken Shepherd | 09:49 EST): In his February 21 column, MRC President Brent Bozell wrote about how the liberal media's cheerleading of Al Gore falls into line with a long history of showcasing environmental alarmists such as Paul Ehrlich of The Population Bomb fame. Last August, the MRC's sister organization, the Business & Media Institute (BMI) issued a report about Gore's summer press blitz and the nearly six hours of national TV air time he had racked up by the end of July promoting his film. On the February 5 "Your World with Neil Cavuto," BMI director Dan Gainor predicted Gore's film would win the Oscar (video accessible here).
