The liberally biased media played up Quayle's error while ignoring Senator [[Al Gore]]'s momentous gaffes: Gore referred to a leopard changing its "stripes" and misquoted the U.S. national motto as "Out of one, many" (It's actually, "Out of many, one"), as well as claiming, several times, over several years to be the "inventor" of the Internet.
This "treatment" was looked upon with something of shocked dismay by politicians of the time, seeing a refinement in the attack methods honed by the media on [[Spiro Agnew]] who served as [[Richard M. Nixon]]'s first Vice President, and a harbinger of things yet to come, as in the public "lynching" of Justice [[Clarence Thomas]].
