---------------------------------------------------------- Gore says media fails to present facts about war with Iraq ---------------------------------------------------------- >From WATE TV (link:http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?S=1799091)
MURFREESBORO (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore said Monday evening in Murfreesboro that the media has failed to present facts to the American public about the war in Iraq and other issues.
Gore said there is no evidence that Saddam Hussein was behind the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center or the Pentagon.
But, he said, an overwhelming majority of the public believed President Bush's argument that Iraq was at the center of the plot and supported the decision to go to war.
Gore made his comments in a lecture to students at Middle Tennessee State University.
He said the lack of basic information cripples democracy and makes it impossible for citizens to develop informed opinions or make rational decisions about the choices before them.
