Did any major newspaper mention Gore's speech?
I've been pretty busy these last two days, but I'm doing a search in Google under "news" and the only news sources that I see mentioned Gore's speech are the alternative progressive websites.

2. Chicago Sun Times, page 22
Not featured on the home page or politics link. Required search. Lame coverage.

3. Who is stopping Kerry, Hillary, Reid, Dean, Obama from going on shows...
And echoing the words of Gore's speech?

Why are we still expecting right wing owned "journalists" to spread our talking points for us?

4. Actually I've Been Suprised How Much Attention It Has Got
I have been suprised how much press the speech did get to tell you the truth. Its all over the net of course, but its also getting much mention on TV, at least the TV I watch, and I heard it on NPR tonight so its getting national exposure via that route.

This one is not going to go away, and the White House stepping up and bemoaning it today only helps it get greater attention.

5. Most of the articles I found were actually on the WH's response
I'm sure if the WH would have stayed quiet, the story would have died.

7. Of course
The English media covers American politics better than the American media.

8. The Dallas Morning News was pretty good (AP story)

>>>>snip
WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Al Gore asserted Monday that President Bush "repeatedly and persistently" broke the law by eavesdropping on Americans without a court warrant and called for a federal investigation of the practice.

Speaking on Martin Luther King Jr.'s national holiday, the man who lost the 2000 presidential election to Bush only after a ruling by the Supreme Court on a recount in Florida, called Bush's warrantless surveillance program "a threat to the very structure of our government." Gore charged that the program has ignored the checks and balances of the courts and Congress.

Gore said that Bush's actions – which the president has defended as indispensable in the war against terrorism – represented a "direct assault" on the special federal court that considers, and decides whether to authorize, administration requests to eavesdrop on Americans.




>>>>>>snip
Gore was repeatedly interrupted by applause Monday as he spoke to the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy and the Liberty Coalition, two organizations that expressed concern with the legality of the surveillance program.

9. NPR ignored it with one exception-
Edited on Tue Jan-17-06 10:00 PM by stlsaxman
mentioning it once in the updates during today's Morning Edition.

Listened to ATC to see if they covered it, but alas.

NPR- Nationalist Propaganda Radio.

Did anyone hear something I may have missed?

ON EDIT: ooops! just read Post #4- okay, I'll check it out.
