AL JAZEERA BUYS CURRENT TV. “Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1.”

That’s Irony #1. Irony #2 is Al Gore walking away with $100 million in dirty oil money. Well, it would be ironic if it weren’t so predictable. Al’s a whore, basically. Gore, I mean. Not Jazeera.

No surprise Carbon Credit is a scam just like Ponzi.

I just hope the major cable providers refuse to carry the terrorist network

 

[Busybody]

the cable companies will push it on us

I would say why, except there are so many channels that I get that are useless but I can't get BBC America as part of any decent package.

BTW Al Gore who want us to pay more taxes did this deal before the end of the year so he would pay less. And Al is going to have aseat on the terrorist network's board

You do realise Al Jazeera is a respected Arabic TV network and NOT a terrorist network?

The Gore Premium


Privco, an online news service covering privately held companies, has some interesting observations about the Al Jazeera–Current TV deal that will transfer many millions of dollars from the oil-rich Qatari royal family into the pockets of oil-averse enviro-impresario and former vice president Al Gore. The (evil, wicked) bankers over at Barclays had been seeking a buyer for the money-losing cable-news channel for some time, and the Qataris far outbid all the other suitors.

Considering the fact that several suitors were interested in acquiring Current TV, PrivCo concludes that despite [co-founder Joel] Hyatt’s suggestions to the contrary, Current TV was simply sold to the highest bidder. The company had been shopped by Barclays for some time, and the deep-pocketed Qatari Royal Family backing Al Jazeera handily outbid any other bidder’s rational bid. (PrivCo analysis shows that private cable TV networks typically sell for 4.5-5x revenue. Al Jazeera is paying 7x Current TV’s 2012 revenue of $112 Million.)

Much of Privco’s public data for Current TV stops at 2008, at which time the channel was still turning in multi-million-dollar losses each quarter. Privco puts the sale price at $784 million rather than the $500 million reported by other sources.

Mr. Gore’s motives here are, I suspect, exactly what Privco suggests: selling to the highest bidder. I do wonder why the Qataris were such a remarkably high bidder, paying a premium for Current TV. But with the Qatari royals investing in Al Gore’s network and the rulers of the United Arab Emirates backing Matt Damon’s anti-gas hysteria, it appears that Middle Eastern petro-potentates find some real value in left-learning American media, especially that of a greenish hue. Fancy that.

What the fuck is TRUTH TO POWER


Goracle Rejected Selling Current TV To Glenn Beck For Ideological Reasons, Sold To Al Jazeera Because They Share The “Same Goals”…


They share the “same goals?” One of Al Jazeera’s most popular shows features Yusuf al-Qardawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who condones suicide bombings against Israeli civilians and backed attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq.

Via Newsmax:

Before pan-Arab broadcaster al-Jazeera bought Current TV, the fledgling cable news network founded by former Vice President Al Gore, conservative commentator Glenn Beck had pursued purchasing the company — and was rejected. [...]

“Other suitors who didn’t share Current’s ideology were rebuffed,” reporters Keach Hagey and John Jannarone wrote in the Wall Street Journal. “Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze approached Current about buying the channel last year, but was told that ‘the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view,’” according to a person familiar with the negotiations.”

The former vice president confirmed the sale Wednesday that reportedly netted $100 million, saying in a statement that Al-Jazeera shares Current TV’s mission “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.”

Executives at Current told the Journal they decided to sell to the Arab broadcaster because “al-Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current,” which included “to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard” and “to speak truth to power,” according to the Journal.
