“My position is that all television is bad except my network, Current TV, and The Daily Show, and whatever show I happen to be watching at the time,” Gore joked, before adding, “But in all seriousness, the television news programs have probably spent a lot more time on Britney Spears’ shaving her head, and Paris Hilton going to jail, and Anna-Nicole Smith’s estate lawyers and Joey Buttafuoco, and all this stuff, than they have spent giving us the facts — for example, telling us before the invasion of Iraq, that actually Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with the attack of 9/11.”
