Al Gore sells Current TV to al-Qaeda TV for America

[akatrex]

Al Gore sells Current TV to Al-Jazeera, nets reported $100 million.


Former Vice President Al Gore has made himself a much, much richer man by selling his little watched cable channel Current TV to the Emir of Qatar-funded Arab news channel Al-Jazeera.

Gore netted $100 million with his 20 percent stake in the network when it was sold for a reported $500 million on Wednesday.

Al-Jazeera plans to euthanize the struggling, seven-year-old Current TV and turn it into Al-Jazeera America


Al-Jazeera has been criticized for having a pro-Islamist bent, and accused of working with members of Al Qaeda.

But Gore, on his way out the door, sees a bright future for Al-Jazeera America where his Current TV failed, saying both networks were founded "to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling."

Just like Fox News and MSNBC.

You mean that Beco is a moron.

 

[killallhippies]

This sale reveals more of the truth about Al Gore. Yet the true believers won't see it.

He wanted the sale to go through by Dec. 31st so he could avoid a tax increase. Now there is an inconvenient truth. No, wait...you mean you ARE paying too much in taxes? Hypocrite.

Stop speaking with a cock in your mouth.

It's rude.

 

[Sean]

Exactly.

Just like Fox News and MSNBC.

Al J is considerably less biased than both.

Why do you hate the job creators?

 

[JackLuis]

AL-J, English is an interesting read, most days. They have their own viewpoints, but most of the really scathing "Anti-American" articles are written by Americans, so it's not like they're Fox., with just one drum to beat.

Besides Current was boring.

RT, Russian TV, is sometimes very critical of the Washington Waltz. Makes me wonder why the Grey Lady, and the Was Post are so lapdogish?

I like RT. They usually give me one really good laugh per broadcast.

Like last week when they tripped over themselves portraying Putin as a defender of children when he signed into law the ban on adoptions by U.S. citizens. One could almost see Putin's hand up the journalist's ass.

[Wrong Element]

Yes! Really! Since when do you all bitch about someone making money on an investment?

 

[fgarvb1]

Good.

Because the one thing we need more of in this country, is MORE Anti-American propaganda!

 

[Sean]

Good.

No, but you do need some reasonably honest TV reportage.

 

[fgarvb1]

No, but you do need some reasonably honest TV reportage.

Will not get it there!

 

[Sean]

Will not get it there!

It's a far less biased station than any American news operation I can think of.

 

[blobfish]

C-Span.

I've watched al Jazeera a few times, and it's not that bad.

It's rude.

Thanks for adding something important to the conversation.

 

[run_silent]

Mnn. OK. Just like Fox and Msnbc. We tend to watch channels that reinforce our points of view.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Sure, Al Jazeera is a completely objective news source.

It's pretty good, actually. It was/is the best place to go for news of Arab Spring events.
