Seems similar to the solar green energy global warming scam.

Al Gore buys a TV ‘channel’. He pretends to have quality shows for a short period of time. Then ...boom... he sells it to Al Jazeera.

Almost as if the plan was to guarantee AJ’s acquisition using Gore as the middle man who walks away with plenty of cash.

The only problem I have with AJ is that their US outlet will probably lie as much as their American(I use that term loosely) counterparts, which is too bad because AJ is a pretty good source.

I have recently been visiting the AJ site for articles on the war in Syria. The pieces I have seen seem to be pretty good and not heavily political as those from say CNN or MSNBC.

Time is a factor but I can see the potential for AJ programming overtaking the weak CNN and MSNBC.

Folks here tend to put the Arabs down, not realizing they are not all wackos and have become citizens of the world. The piece says Quatari’s but I think of it as being GCC. The GCC wants a world class voice. AJ is that voice.

Think Dubai and Abu dhabi........ they are the future, here now.

Actually Current TV has been around for almost eight years. It never made money or got much viewership. It was a dog. Al Jazeera’s offer was so inflated that simple greed was enough persuasion for Gore and his gullible investors. IMHO.
