Mr. Gore's Neighborhood

Mr. Ponte delves reasonably and deeply in the Gore TV program:

“We have no intention of being a Democratic channel, a liberal channel, or a TV version of Air America [Radio],” said Gore, 57, last Monday, referring to the pseudo-liberal Democratic Party propaganda network. “It is not in any way an ideological, much less partisan point of view in any respect. It will have the point of view of the young generation.”

But when we look behind the screen at Mr. Gore’s partners and moneymen in this video venture, it’s easy to see why skeptics have already labeled the emerging channel “DNC TV.”
