KESQ ^ | 4/4/05

[Crackingham]

Former Vice President Al Gore is in San Francisco to announce the creation of a new television network, called IN-d-T-V.

IN-d-T-V is an independent media company led by Gore and entrepreneur Joel Hyatt.

It's a new network aimed at young liberal viewers.

The announcement will be made at the annual convention of the National Cable Television Association.

It's a new network aimed at young liberal viewers.

Then it will basically be a mirror of MTV's worst shows.

[West Coast Conservative]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[what's up]

Gore has gone about as far left as possible. San Francisco? Whatta wacko.

[Hexenhammer]

Well I'm sure it will be as exciting and intellectual is mr. Al Gore himself is, which is to say it will be both boring and stupid.

[Electrowoman]

Agreed. Yawwwwn.

[fatnotlazy]

Well, they don't call him Al Bore for nothing. :)

Really, rather watch the "Paint drying network"

[dhs12345]

Best form of flattery is for them to copy the Conservative networks. Of course, they already have a bunch of networks that slant left and are funded taxpayer, too.

This will no doubt become part of every "basic cable" package nationwide.

[Zivasmate]

What will it show: How he invented the internet or him and Tipper in "love Story"?

Or will it show all his anti-Bush rants on tape over the past 4 years. Or will it show his endorsement of Howard Dean in 2003?

[Kenton]

Dear Al.

Liberals need a savior, a man of vision who can lead them out of the wilderness of their own decline.

You ain't it. You are so.. so... so "election before last"...

[marlon]

Yeah this is a hell of a business move. I know if I had a multi-million dollar backer I would survey the landscape and come to the conclusion that what the world was crying out for was a left wing channel for young people. Yup, you catch everyone sleeping, no one will know what hit them. Imagine that, left wing TV, go figure.

The man is quite simply a visionairy!!!!!!!!

If Algore really won is 2000, then W can run for re-election in 2008.

[BigSkyFreeper]

So, what he's trying to say is, this network is a failure on paper.

[Grey Rabbit]

And we have more solid evidence that TV is a mindless wasteland.

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

He was encouraged by the success of his eponymous cable show, "Jackass".

[kellynla]

For a clown who couldn't even carry his own home state in 2000, one would think ol' Al would take up fishing or something! ROFLMAO

"Taking its cues from their media consumption habits, Current will offer short-form programming in the TV equivalent of an iPod shuffle. Its "pods" will be 15-second to five-minute segments that range from the hottest trends in technology, fashion, television, music and videogames, to pressing issues such as the environment, relationships, spirituality, finance, politics and parenting, subjects that young adults can rarely find on television"
