How Nashville-based PR guy Keith Ryan Cartwright put words in Al Gore's mouth in a recent interview that ended up provoking rightwing ridicule of Gore due to Cartwright's unprofessional method of interviewing.

When Keith Ryan Cartwright wrote up an interview he did with Al Gore in the Tennessean newspaper, headlined ''Al Gore on climate issues: 'We’re far from where we need to be' '', the interview ended up backfiring on Gore due to Cartwrighht's unprofessional way of interviewing.

The bylined article by Keith Ryan Cartwright, For The Tennessean appeared in print on July 3, 2016 and promptly drew mockery and jokes from the righwing gang that loathes Gore's climate work and the movie ''AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.''
 
Halfway through the interview, which was going swimmingly and very professionally,  Cartwright, out of the blue, and without warning or telegraphing the question anywhere in the earler part of the interview, asked this amazingly STUPID question to Gore:
 
CARTWRIGHT: (out of the blue and not about anything that he and Gore were discussing previously) -- I don’t want to compare you to Jackie Robinson, but I’m going to draw a parallel. When you’re first at something or, in your case, out front, it’s often difficult. You had naysayers. Even though you were at the top of the New York Times bestseller list, there were people who made fun of it.

GORE: Oh, yeah. A few still do.


CARTWRIGHT: How do you deal with that? How are you able to keep putting yourself out there? How do you emotionally tell yourself, "It’s worth it?"


GORE: There is a time-honored tradition of people who strongly disagree with a message and take it out on the messenger, and opponents of integration had a personal animus for Jackie Robinson. Opponents of all the great social movements would take out after the advocates that were most effective in asking people to change.

As a result, I don’t take it personally when the criticism comes at me. I believe so passionately in this mission, if you will. The word "mission" might sound a little grandiose, but that’s kind of what it feels like to me. Honestly, it is a joy and a privilege to have work that justifies pouring every ounce of energy you can pour into it. That is a blessing that is to be cherished.

NOTICE THAT GORE NEVER ONCE IN HIS ANSWER EVER COMPARIED HIMSELF TO ROBINSON. HE MERELY TRIED TO KEEP THE INTERVIEW GOING AND ANSWERED THE TWO QUESTIONS AS BEST HE COULD. REPEAT. GORE NEVER ONCE COMPARED HIMSELF TO JACKIE ROBINSON and yet the very next day in internet time the internet was full of rightwing climate denialists once again mocking GORE for comaring himself to Robinson. GORE never did. This was all Cartwright's very stupid ''set up.''

Wonder where Mr Cartwright went to journalism school.

THE CONSERVATIVE RIGHTWING MEDIA WENT TO WORK ON THIS: There were dozens, hundreds of attacks on Gore this this poorly executed interview by Mr Cartwright.... google the meme and see for yourself.

Al Gore: The 'Jackie Robinson' of global warming

As a man on a "great social mission," former Vice President Al Gore says he feels like baseball trailblazer Jackie Robinson, the messenger of integration who was often ridiculed and worse when he hit the bases as the first black to play professional ball.

MORE HEADLILINES:


Al Gore, climate change activist out to save world, likens himself to Jackie Robinson

Al Gore says he’s the Jackie Robinson of global warming, and says he’s spearheading how people view the climate just as Robinson did for civil rights.


EXCEPT GORE NEVER SAID THAT!

Wrote another rightwing hatchet jobber:

In a revealing interview published on Sunday, Al Gore told The Tennessean newspaper that he considers himself to be like Jackie Robinson, the famous baseball player that received a torrent of abuse for playing on an all-white baseball team in the 1940s.

When asked if there were any similarities between Robinson’s efforts to integrate big-league baseball and his crusade to bring a climate change message to the masses, Gore said there were definite parallels. America’s largest civil rights movement, he believes, was analogous to climate change when there was still a long way to go. EXCEPT GORE NEVER SAID THOSE WORDS. READ THE INTERVIEW AGAIN.

Jackie Robinson on Major League Baseball team

In 1947, Jackie Robinson was the first black man to play in Major League Baseball (MLB), and at a time when African-Americans were consigned to playing in the lower-tiered “Negro leagues.” The Brooklyn Dodgers hired the gifted Robinson and placed him on first base, assigned him the number ’42,’ and essentially ended 60 years of segregation in professional baseball. During his honorific baseball career, Robinson earned MLB’s Rookie of the Year Award, made the All-Star team for six consecutive years, and was awarded the prestigious MLB’s Most Valuable Player Award.
The Tennessean reporter who interviewed Gore asked about the politics of the climate change debate, and why Gore has subjected himself to such harsh political abuse—the same treatment that Robinson received in baseball. But Gore, who could have simply said that comparing himself to a civil rights champion would be a disservice to the African-American community, was unable to pass up the chance to get an extra heaping of hubris with a side order of self-importance. And hold the humility, please.



BUT GORE NEVER compared himself to a civil rights champion ...and he was not looking to get an extra heaping of hubris with a side order of self-importance. PLEASE. IT WAS THE STUPID INTERVIEWER WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BROUHAHA OVER WORDS GORE NEVER SAID..

Al Gore is only the messenger

Gore said it was traditional for people who didn’t like the message to take it out on the messenger, as baseball fans did with Robinson. GORE DID NOT COMPARE HIMSELF ONCE WITH ROBINSON, READ TH INTERVIEW. PLEASE

Gore noted “opponents of [baseball] integration had a personal animus for Jackie Robinson,” just as he believes skeptics of catastrophic climate change have an open hostility toward him. GORE DID NOT COMPARE HIMSELF ONCE WITH ROBINSON, READ TH INTERVIEW. PLEASE

Gore then compared global warming to the civil rights movement, rather than a scientific debate, and said that his enemies attack him because he is the most effective spokesperson for the planet. BUT GORE DID NOT COMPARE HIMSELF ONCE WITH ROBINSON, READ TH INTERVIEW. PLEASE

 But fear not, Gore understands that this is part and parcel of being Earth’s number one diplomat.

 Like Robinson, who was considered a civil rights pioneer during one of America’s uglier eras, Gore believes just as adamantly he is also faced with a huge undertaking: saving mankind. Admitting in the interview that his climate change rhetoric may sound a bit over-the-top, he still thinks it’s correct to describe what he does as a “mission.” Gore says that it was his privilege to have a job that requires “every ounce of energy” he could muster into changing the world, as his self-written message dictates.
