Al Jazeera Now A US TV Network

Al Jazeera is now a US TV network thanks to Al Gore.

“When considering the several suitors who were interested in acquiring Current, it became clear to us that Al Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current,” Hyatt wrote. “Al Jazeera, like Current, believes that facts and truth lead to a better understanding of the world around us.”

Al Jazeera plans to scrap Current’s programming lineup and brand, which never caught on with a critical mass of viewers, and use the channel’s subscriber base of 60 million households as the basis for a new network. A Current spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the reports.

You will also note that Gore and the other owners of the network made sure the sale went through before the new tax rates kicked in.

It is possible that this law suit had something to do with the sale.

“Current’s sudden and public termination of Olbermann was the latest in a series of increasingly erratic and unprofessional actions undertaken by current management,” it claims.

Maybe Olberman’s exit made the network more salable.

A commenter at Watts Up With That I think gets the essence of it.

“Al Jazeera, which is financed by the government of Qatar”

FYI, Qatar is the world’s largest exporter on LNG, which the US is looking to enter that market as an LNG exporter (and competitor of Qatar) with the excess gas coming from our successful fracking revolution.

None of this is coincidence. This is going to be a propaganda effort, pure & simple.

Well that would explain the “same goals”.
