Can't imagine why you weren't watching.
When fossil fuel-phobic Al Gore sold his “Current TV†network to Al Jazeera, we noted the oil-based irony and mourned the passing of our favorite primetime lineup. After all, Current had been home to crackpots like Keith Olbermann and Dating Game contestants like Jennifer Granholm for the better part of ten years. That kind of crazy is hard to come by and we knew that we wouldn’t see anything quite like Current again. MSNBC does it’s best to fill the void, but it’s just not the same.
Anyway, Al Jazeera America premiered a little over two years ago, and it was hailed by the left as a breath of fresh air. Finally, unbiased individuals would be doing serious news about serious international affairs. Folks like Hillary Clinton had long been suggesting that Al Jazeera’s U.S. viewership was skyrocketing because unlike American media, they did “real news.â€
Here she is in 2011, arguing that Americans simply can’t get enough Al Jazeera:

I guess the Muzzies weren’t supplying enough breaths of fresh air for the commie libs.

Isn’t this the outfit sold by Al Gore to the oil-rich Arabs for over ONE BILLION DOLLARS..?
Maybe this bankruptcy was PLANNED and it was a stealthy BRIBE?
Just being paranoid, here...

It was. It was pegged ‘AlGoreZeera’.
To: Sean_Anthony
I got interviewed by Al-Jazera at the last CPAC. The gal overheard me say to someone shortly after it, "So who watches Al-Jazera?"
They cut my interview. Waaaaa!

Al Gore has a lot of faults, but he isn’t stupid.
To: Vince Ferrer
He won a Nobel prize for saying the earth was doomed in ten years. Every prediction and model the IPCC used to show the near future was grossly wrong. If those were so off, imagine how much more off they are with the future.
Sorry, Gore is stupid, but liberals like what he gets accomplished.

Gore was like this close || to making you buy the air you breath on his carbon exchange. He is the king of the lilly whites.
To: gaijin

Good. Now that the channel is vacated, we can get carriage for One America and The Blaze.
