Regarding a conference call bloggers had with Al Gore yesterday (podcast), this from Taylor Marsh on The Huffington Post:

Needless to say it was a remarkable conversation, talking about Al Gore's new book, The Assault on Reason, which I received from the publishers and have briefly walked through. I'll be talking about it on my radio show today. It was interesting that we even got to talk to him before Larry King did last night.

The whole conversation, a full hour, is taped for you to listen to. The whole hour podcast, plus a couple of podcasts breakdowns, can be found in full here.

It was quite an opportunity, with all of the questions thought provoking, which you'll hear in the audio. Not a single blogger asked Gore the Sawyer question: Are you running in '08, blah-blah-blah. Repeat question and recycle it again. Oh, and no questions about how much weight he has lost either. We know our jobs even if the corporate hack pack does not.

It's funny how the media race to the lowest common denominator in how they cover politics, and then wonder why everyone's looking for something more relevant to their lives.

Thank goodness we don't have Diane Sawyer or Dan Rather or Tom Brokaw or Katie Couric deciding what's important for us to read and hear and see on the internet.
