Gore’s vision for DIY media The US politician is breaking into British TV

Gore: “YouTube is a very interesting and fun company. But there’s all the difference in the world between what they’re doing and what we’re doing. Our viewers are able to use the internet to review and help us select which of the programmes are the most fascinating to them. But then it’s displayed on televison proper by satellite and by cable.”

Gore added: “Ours is premium content. You don’t search though a million different videos to find a few that you might find interesting.

(Before you know it, Al will be declaring that he invented YouTube.)

For James Murdoch, the chief executive of BSkyB, Current is “an extraordinary product” that addresses the fragmentation of the media universe. Twenty years ago, Britain had only four television channels; now there are more than 400 on Sky alone. This process has much, much further to go.

They forget one thing. Current TV is a droning, unorganized mess.

I'll be honest, I haven't been able to keep up with all the twists and turns (cough:lies:cough). I gave up on this story. The bad guy is gone, the victims are either unwilling to proceed or wishing it would go away, and nothing out of James Carville's foul mouth is going to change the way I see all of these jerks, anyway.

[lainie]

Cute, ain't it :)

[mylife]

The folks calling for hasterts resigtnation are either opponents or lemmings. Hastert has done nothing wrong

[oceanview]

Kudlow's only goal is open borders so US businesses can have cheap labor and undercut worker's wages. he cares about nothing else.

Several Hundred Iraqi Police Poisoned

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Several hundred Iraqi police fell sick from poisoning during a meal breaking their daily Ramadan fast on Sunday, Iraqi officials said. The cause was under investigation.

Ambulances and helicopters sent by the U.S. military ferried the sickened policemen to hospital after they fell ill at their base near the southern town of Numaniyah, said an Interior Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release details to the press.

Gen. Adnan Thabit, commander of the National Police, confirmed that the police — members of the National Police's 4th Division — had been struck by poisoning after the meal.

Dang if I didnt skip past the nafta tainted spinach today in order to buy some nafta tau=inted (cheap) lettuce :0(

[Vision]

It's good. For some reason your image shows up and then disappears.

Anyway, happy Sunday night lainie.

[lainie]

I remember wondering about the bags of salad, at the height of the "don't eat spinach" craze. If there was e.coli at the (organic?) farm, doesn't it taint everything?

[lainie]

Guess the site doesn't appreciate hotlinking..which I can understand of course. I just figured it was okay in this case, seeing as they want the interest. Presumably.

Thanks for the fix!!
