Proving Gore's Point

Remember those times when someone started talking about you as if you weren't there? Or brought up an issue that everyone knew you were passionate about and didn't bring you into the discussion? Hello, sitting right here!

Now watch as Diane Sawyer interviews Al Gore about his new book. Gore summarizes its thesis about how American democracy is damaged in part by the media's obsessive focus on trivialities, and then all Sawyer can do is ask him trivial questions. Seriously, she asks him if he's lost any weight in preparation for a presidential run. It's amazing.
