[1]George Soros, d.b.a. Think Progress, [2] has his knickers is a twist because Fox dared to suggest that Al Gore has done little for world peace. So what has Gore ever done to promote world peace? TP goes so far as to list their purported criteria for the Nobel Peace Prize:
The prize for peace was to be awarded to the person who “shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding of peace congresses.”
So what standing armies has Gore helped to reduce? What peace conferenes has he conducted? To the best of my knowledge, none.

Addendum: (Bit)
Thing is, Fox isn’t the only one.
A few others of the 178,000 hits Google coughed up for me, in no particular order:
The Telegraph, [4]
Our Campaigns [5]
Vaclav Klaus, [6]who happens to be the president of the Czech Republic
Slate [7]
The London Times [8]
Clipmarks [9]
Human Events [10]
The question of course becomes, why would Soros pick Fox news, specifically, to go with? Because it fits in with the left’s mantra about how fox news is biased and has no credibility. He’s hoping the rest of these sources will be shamed into falling into line with him.
Soros’ largest trouble, of course, is that there are so many people who are asking these questions, and two few who are giving the answers. The fact of the matter is, Al Gore has done nothing for world peace. The Nobel peace prize, has been a laughingstock for the last 30 years at least. This award to someone who has done nothing whatsoever for world peace, confirms that status, and sets it in cement.
