The New York Times editorial this Saturday touting Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize. Several issues annoyed me in this grouping of sentences (I hesitate to call it an article). Right from the opening paragraph the author starts by spewing propaganda as opposed to fact, and a prior New York Times article actually contradicts his statements:

One can generate a lot of heartburn thinking about all of the things that would be better about this country and the world if the Supreme Court had done the right thing and ruled for Al Gore instead of George W. Bush in 2000.

One can also generate alot of heartburn reading supposedly respectable papers which the ramblings of the misinformed. Democrats continue to proclaim that the Supreme Court gave Bush the Presidency, and as the saying goes, a lie told often enough becomes the truth. We now have newspapers printing it as if it were fact, even though the New York Times itself proclaimed Bush would have won even if the Supreme Court had ruled in Gore’s favor.

The author then goes on to say:

There will also be those who complain that this prize — like the committee’s earlier awards to Jimmy Carter and the chief United Nations nuclear inspector, Mohamed ElBaradei — is an intentional slap at President Bush. It should be. We only wish that it would finally wake up the president.

I am sure Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King Jr. along with all of the distinguished winners of the Nobel Peace Prize would be happy to know that the award is now used as a slap in the face. Specifically it seems the award is now meant to be used as the anti-Bush prize.
