Al Gore worked so hard to bring us the Internet and yet no mention of him in the broadcast?! Those Canadian journalists ought to be ashamed, they ought to.
“Al Gore worked so hard to bring us the Internet and yet no mention of him in the broadcast?!”
That’s right, Daniel. Al Gore was so pissed that he didn’t get credit for inventing the Internet that he invented global warming.
“not a lot of cursing or swearing or personal cuts”…..what internet was he using?
He was using the pre-AOL Internet.
I bet the reporter in that story is from the same part of Canada that Peter Jennings is from…they sound the same.

From the CBC Prime Times News broadcast on Oct. 8, 1993
