Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize for his documentary film, “An Inconvenient Truth”. Most of the media has covered the news in one way or another.
The Wall Street Journal reported the news very objective—all the way to the end, when concluding that most of the Democrats have called for environmental action as well as two Republican candidates. The WSJ also had a precursor aricle to the announcement which quoted several news organizations on their adverse opinions if Gore won.
On MSNBC—there were quite a few articles devoted to the new Nobel recipient. They covered the story much better, giving attention to detail as to why he was chosen:
"His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."
MSNBC also covered Gore’s not so greatest fans, for example:
"He's like the proverbial nut that grew into a giant oak by standing his ground," Patrick Michaels, a scholar with the free market Cato Institute, said in a statement. "We can only hope that he can parlay his prize into a run for the U. S. presidency, where he will be unable to hide from debate on his extreme and one-sided view of global warming."
It was also said that however happy President Bush was for Mr. Gore, Bush will not be calling to congratulate him on the award. I guess you cant win them all! Congratulations Mr. Gore and Thank You!
