Fournier's Amnesia

Via Atrios, we've spotted the Associated Press' Ron Fournier writing revisionist history about his own coverage of Al Gore's 2000 campaign.

Yesterday, in a story on truth vs. distortion thus far in the 2004 campaign, Fournier wrote: "Few of assertions are patently wrong; most reside in the murky gray area between correct and incorrect -- a rhetorical margin of error. Just as Bush convinced many Americans in 2000 that Democrat Al Gore fabricated his biography and record, Bush and Kerry hope to open a credibility gap."

A little research, however, points out that Bush had a little help in convincing some voters that Al Gore had fabricated his biography and record in 2000 -- from, among others, Ron Fournier.
