WOW! Check out this info from the Web that I found out about Algore's VTV partner, Joel Hyatt:

Hyatt ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in Ohio in 1994 for the seat of retiring Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, his father-in-law. One issue raised in that Ohio electoral campaign related to the parallels between the Academy Award-winning movie "Philadelphia," starring Tom Hanks, and the lawsuit filed by a lawyer with AIDS who had worked for Hyatt's law firm. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Hyatt's senatorial campaign office made available a statement issued by Tri-Star Pictures, which produced the movie, stating that their story was not "based on any particular person, law firm or incident." In 1990, Hyatt's firm was sued by an employee who claimed he was dismissed because he was ill with AIDS. According to the New York Times account of April 13, 1990: "Federal District Judge Raymond J. Broderick ruled that Hyatt, a pioneer in low-cost legal clinics, had illegally removed the head of its Philadelphia office, Clarence B. Cain, after learning he had AIDS." The Times quoted the judge as saying the firm had mounted a "corrupt assault" on Cain's dignity and that the firm's conduct "was not merely inexcusably insensitive" but "so outrageous" as to warrant punitive damages.

"Vacuous"

The only word that really fits Algore.

I still like the idea of naming the channel "Al's Super Station".

I believe we have the sense of the meeting clearly identified.

For now, the only place on the tube where you can see the Gore-like Vulcans is on Star Trek: Enterprise.

That's unfair! The Vulcans showed humor, deep and logical thought, and subtle emotion. Algore shows none of that.

This "network" is going to be one of the biggest bombs. These people haven't a clue why people tune into FOX, Rush, etc. People are interested in thoughtful analysis and perspective, not propoganda.

Investors in this are clueless.
