It is fun to watch Big Oil critic Al Gore squirm as he is questioned about selling out to the oil-rich dictatorship in Qatar. But his sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera is not a laughing matter. This transaction is a homeland security threat that violates numerous U.S. laws.
To his credit, funnyman David Letterman got close to the truth when he asked the former Democratic vice-president, “Now why do we think of Al Jazeera as something not right going on there in terms of, in terms of the good for Americans? Why do we think that they may be propaganda for Muslim violence and terrorism?”
“Well, it’s certainly not,” Gore replied. “And many years ago it put some videos on in the Arabic version that I think were misinterpreted, but the Al Jazeera English and now Al Jazeera America [are] really high quality stuff. They’re very widely respected, and people see for themselves. And, by the way, their climate coverage is higher quality and more extensive than any network on TV now in the U.S.”

Al Jazeera is less of a threat to the US than Al Gore.

It’s called diffusing the outrage with half-truths and marginalization. Do not for one minute believe any of these Leftwing “entertainers” have any interest in revealing the truth.
Gore is a big joke. He is a pompous windbag inflated with his own self worth.
He sure has the right surname.
It is fun to watch Big Oil critic Al Gore squirm as he is questioned about selling out to the oil-rich dictatorship in Qatar... David Letterman got close to the truth when he asked the former Democratic vice-president, "Now why do we think of Al Jazeera as... propaganda for Muslim violence and terrorism?”And the core of the Earth is a million degrees. What a lying gasbag. Letterman's just another pussy Partisan Media Shill.
“Well, it’s certainly not,” Gore replied. “And many years ago it put some videos on in the Arabic version that I think were misinterpreted... And, by the way, their climate coverage is higher quality and more extensive than any network on TV now in the U.S.”
