conspiracy to derail al gore?

Too funny! ColbyCosh.com has a theory that's worth looking into:

"The real embarrassment, of course, is for those who claim there is No Such Thing As Liberal Media Bias. Could the Times campaign against Augusta National be a tacit conspiracy to derail Al Gore's renomination campaign? Just as Gore is trying to make headlines claiming that conservatives dominate the U.S. media, this story--in which Pulitzer-winning columnists at the Paper of Record are getting their work rammed onto the spike for arguing in favour of old-fashioned American freedom of association--rears its head. You've got to wonder if they're deliberately trying to make him look like a fool."

Of course it goes without saying that he needs no extra help to look like a fool, but nevertheless, if it were true, I might forgive the rag and read something other than Safire.
