In October2001, eight news organizations published the findings of their unofficial recount of Florida’s disputed ballots. The recount had discovered that AlGore would've won the decisive Florida election if all legally cast votes were counted.
However, just two months after the 9/11 attacks, the news organizations chose to conceal the obvious “Gore Won” lead, apparently putting their sense of “patriotism” over journalistic professionalism.
Rather than tell already-shaken Americans that the wrong man was in the WhiteHouse, the big news outlets – including the NewYorkTimes, the WashingtonPost & CNN – structured their stories around hypothetical recounts that would've excluded some legal votes & thus still would've resulted in a Bush “victory.”
To further protect Bush’s “legitimacy” amid the 9/11 crisis, the news organizations mocked those who challenged these carefully structured stories as “Gore partisans” or “conspiracy theorists.”
Even today, some Americans angrily object when they read references made to Gore’s Florida victory. They remember that day six years ago when the news organizations sold the case for Bush’s legitimacy.

You're one of those uninformed Americans. It's tragic because it enables the reduction of citizens like you to mindl3ss cheerleaders for their favorite 'rockstar' candidate, never realizing that both party's candidates are paid by the same owner(s) who own both 'teams'/'leagues'.
