Gore's Home . . . and Media Corruption
By Henry Payne
National Review Online
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research’s bird-dogging of Gore’s energy hypocrisy sheds light on another scandal: The corruption of media environmental coverage.
The Center is a small non-profit in Nashville dedicated to reporting on Tennessee public policy, primarily government spending. In February 2007, staff investigator Trent Seibert uncovered that the Goracle’s home utility bills were 20 times the national average, a bombshell that came just one day after Gore's Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth.
Drudge picked up the story and it spread like wildfire across the Internet — and it made waves in journalism circles too. How had a tiny think tank scooped the Nashville Tennessean, one of the country’s storied investigative newspapers, on Tennessee’s most prominent public figure?
