Does anyone listen to Al-Gorzera radio anyway?

Has anyone pointed out that this network gave air time to David Duke to explain that Jews were forewarned about 911? Why isn’t that being covered?

I didn’t even realize there was such a thing until the last couple of days.

The funniest stat I’ve read is that Current TV is available in 60 million homes and seen by 50 thousand viewers! HA!

This is a message to the green movement that big oil is OK with their leader.

The funny part of this deal is that Al Gore is probably going to just barely break even on it, if that; but al-Jazeera is going to be shafted six ways from Sunday.

To start with, they are paying a LOT more than Current TV is worth, likely assuming that they will also get its existing contracts with cable and content providers. Guess what?

First of all, the real assets of Current TV are a few studios and cameras and some technical equipment. Worth $10-20 million tops. Not the $500 million they bought it for.

But the real zinger is that all the new cable, Internet, and content contracts are going to be made at the end of January! The National Association of Television Program Executives are holding their huge annual convention there to buy and sell cable and Internet service and content, the TV shows.

It is an orgy of horse-trading, package deals, and utterly cutthroat deal making. And al-Jazeera is going to show up at the Hotel Fountainbleu, fat, dumb, and happy, to be confounded by what looks like a stock exchange trading pit, many of whose traders are Jewish, waving many hundreds of pages of contracts around and wheeling and dealing like crazy.

Did I mention that many of these media types are Jewish?

While in the Casbah, money talks, a group of befuddled Arabs with a lot of money walking around are just begging to be totally ripped-off.

Already Time-Warner has canceled its Current TV contract. So while al-Jazeera was hoping for a quick 60 million homes ready for their content, guess what?

Al Jazeera,The terrorist favorite mouth piece.

I still remember all of the video that the terrorist groups provided to them and it still turns my stomach.

I hope that network go’s bankrupt in 6 months.Even that wouldn’t be soon enough.

That's a hoot! You know, come to think of it, someone should turn that in to a TV show! :)

I think when Al Gore lost the election - a screw came loose and he decided he was gonna be “all about Al”. He came up with these “scams” like buying carbon credits while he flew all over the country/world in his private jet and using his connections to pull the wool over the public’s eyes. Problem is...our media decided to fawn over him rather than reveal the truth - Gore is a fraud. I see why Tipper is no longer involved with him. Perhaps with this Current transfer to Al Jazeera, people will see him for the hypocritical phoney that he is.

“The jokes are already writing themselves...”

Using Al Gore to bolster legitimacy is like putting out a fire with gasoline.

” Gore is a fraud. I see why Tipper is no longer involved with him.”

Maybe it’s time to dust off my copy of State of Fear, and read it again.

Remember him flooding a stream during a drought so he could paddle a canoe for a campaign photo op? That one act told me everything I needed to know about his character.

Very much in line with Kerry’s “Can I get me a huntin’ license here?” and Hillary’s “Ah ain’t no ways tahred” when speaking to a black crowd.

You can take the liberal out of the limousine, but that’s about as far as it goes.

Well, the Islamists are already here and some of their networks are worse than Al J. In fact, AJ had more live and in-depth reporting on what happened in Egypt than our MSM did. Come to think of it, Al Gore and his fellow commies may be a greater danger to the republic than any foreign threat.

I want to read and hear what the rest of the world, including our enemies, is saying. It’s a good way to keep an eye on them. Heaven knows we can’t depend on our own media to tell the truth.

I just sent an e-mail to Dish Network. I have been a customer since 1998. If you do not drop Current TV, I will drop you.
