» National Enquirer’s Al Gore Sexual Assault Allegations Ignored by MSM; Oregon May Prosecute - Big Journalism

Since the day the Gores announced their split after 40 years of marriage, I’ve predicted that there is more to this story. And as I wrote last week, Gore’s extramarital affairs have been long known in D.C.’s Democratic circles, but he was protected out of fondness for the family, his political allies’ loyalty and the media’s innate sympathy for Democrats. Had these same allegations – sexual assault, extramarital affairs in the White House—been made against a Republican public official, the mainstream media would have been all over the story.

Instead, the media elite is refusing to act, so the crack investigative team at the National Enquirer is holding Gore accountable. The Enquirer was in the running this year for a Pulitzer Prize for breaking the John Edwards affair which directly led to his being investigated by a federal grand jury, which no mainstream media outlet covered.

Once again, a major Democratic political figure is accused of cheating on his wife and possibly breaking the law — and once again, the mainstream media has thrown a complete blackout over the report.

[June 15, 2010] The Al Gore cheating scandal is, I believe, is going to get worse. Like Tiger Woods -- who started with one affair going public and ended with 121 women -- I suspect women are going to come forward and admit affairs with Gore. And, like John Edwards, if the affairs were paid by official or campaign funds, a federal investigation will ensue.

Bottom line: this is just the tip of the iceberg. And despite Gore’s warnings of global warming, the iceberg isn’t melting.

I’m underwhelmed, but if he were a Republican this would be a huge scandal and proof of the entire party’s hypocrisy on sexual morality or something.

MORE: Reader Heather McFarlane writes: “You may be underwhelmed, but I am not. Gore, according to the masseus’s description, is not only deeply weird, but also a thug who committed a sexual assault upon that woman. As far as I am concerned, that is serious stuff.” If true. Stay tuned.

It's also worth noting that the Portland Tribune had the story two years ago, and writes that it "chose at that time not to publish a story."
