A pay-off to one of their global operatives.
Refused to sell it to Glenn Beck, but chose rather to sell it to a fellow propagandizing hater of the U.S.A.
And this piece of cr** could have been our president on 9-11. God was watching over us.
Anyone surprised?
What!!!!!
He took evil Carbon-based, non-renewable Oil money???
Oh, No —
Al, you let me down.
If we had a benevolent despot taking power, Gore would be one of the first to be lined up in front of a wall and offered a blindfold.
He is a true, un-American traitorous running dog.
IA m surprised that Gore sold to Al Jazeera since they are financed by the Global Warming causing oil companies of the middle east

I doubt too many people will watch. As it is, Current has about 5 viewers. Al Jazeera might increase that to 8. :)
Gore reminds me of Herman Goering. A fat blowhard, corrupt, bombastic, contributing nothing, but convinced that everything is about him. Herman made himself a very rich man, too — but it didn’t last.
AND he doesn’t have to pay increased taxes on it anymore! Score for Al the hypocrit!
Gore originally bought NewsWorld International for about $70m, and probably spent another $100m or so on it to turn it into Current TV, along with an “investor group” of his sucker buddies.
So I’m thinking he is taking a big loss on selling what remains of Current TV, because on the real market, its value is maybe in double digits a lot lower than he is getting from al-Jazeera.
On a small scale, he has just sold them a turkey, and it was also just announced that Time-Warner is no longer going to carry Current TV.
So the Arabs are already losing big time on the deal.
We WANT to pay more taxes, eh?
That’s what communist bigwigs proclaim! Selling out to and joining with terrorists’ premium TV channel and get PAID to be the terrorists’ consultants!
“American” Communists join hands with ME terrorists to take down the ME AND THE USA!
Try this for size:
“Al Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. 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, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday.”
“In a letter to Current employees, some of whom are expected to lose their jobs, he said he and Mr. Gore would join the advisory board of the newly rebranded channel.”

How could a piece~o~crap cable TV station that no one ever watched ever possibly be worth that kinda change?
Captain Planet loves him some petrodollars.
what a scummer
Current TV went from Al-Gorezeera to Al-Jazeera
Wonder how much Obama Tax he will have to pay
Is this not concrete evidence Gore is a total hypocrite on the environment? Selling out for 100 million of dirty oil money?
I’m sure he’ll be happy to pay a big chunk of that because he’s “the rich” now. HE DIDN’T BUILD CURRENT TV! HE DIDN’T BUILD THE INTERNET!
We ought to hang him upside down and shake all that evil oil money out from his pockets. It’s the only fair libtard thing to do. (In case you don’t get it there was a libtard caller on Rush yesterday advocating this be done to Mitt Romney.)
The bribe isn’t even partially hidden, such is the contempt that AlGore and alJazeeeeeeera hold the American people.
