Al-Jazeera buys Current TV from Al Gore.....[W:187,319]

The BBC covered it.... not as much as AL J, but it did cover it.

They may have reported that it happened but they didn't cover it live. I know because I was watching it live on ALJ and flipped over to the other news stations at my disposal, Fox and BBC, to see if they had it. Nope. Whereas ALJ broadcasted the entire debate uninterrupted, all 90 minutes of it.

Oh you meant covered live.. well yea.

Some people probably believe such coverage is anti-American.

And like Joe McCarty...who didn't believe in the First Amendment...well, IMHO, too bad for those who think censorship and controlling freedom of speech in the press is the answer. At the very least, such censorship is a deadly course of action.
 
1.We know Algore is a Master Snake Oil Salesman...

He is indeed and a very good one.

After losing the election to Bush he disappeared from public view for a while , grew a beard, and during that period came up with the global warning scam, 'the world is coming to an end and only I could save it' schtick. At $250,000 a speech.

This is an audacity of the highest order and on that level it was an amazing feat. Of course he knows his gullible liberal audience well and no doubt took that into account.

Give the man some credit. He thought big, like Bernie Madoff, but did nothing illegal. Of course there is the morality part we would have to ignore but I doubt Big Al is very worried about that.

Please show where Joe McCarthy didn't believe in the first amendment.
 
You might want to read the following short article:

The Destruction of Joe McCarthy

McCarthy pretty much believed that the First Amendment was only privy to him.

The article you submitted tends to praise McCarthy and now you say he "pretty much believed" that the Second Amendment was only privvy to him?

This is opinion only and not based on fact. There is no figure in American history more misunderstood than Joe McCarthy and many feel free to malign him at will, and usually without evidence or justification.

The "Second Amendment"?

Al Gore created global warming? Ever here of the hockey stick graph?

You mean the one that proved to be a fake? Of course I've heard of it. It's notorious.

In fact the guy who invented it, who also falsely claims to be a Nobel Prize winner, may soon have to defend his findings in the courts.
 
No, in fact it says nothing. You don't know and you should just admit it rather than pretending.

Either you're about 12 years old or you have no concept or knowledge about McCarthy's character and beliefs.

As a matter of fact I know a great deal about about McCarthy and the times. Want to back up any of your statements or are you just going to pretend you know something?

Uh huh, sure you do...

Your boring me with the claims you know, but offer nothing. If you disagree...groovy, and you're welcome to provide fact to back up your all knowing claims

Actually it was you who made claims you can't support.

Bu it doesn't matter. There are always pretenders on any debate board.
 
Al Jazeera English has bought Al Gore's Current TV station in hope of creating an Al Jazeera America network. Article on AJE Here I see this a step in the right direction for AJE as they can have a foothold in American media.

I heard from Uncle Rush that NO ONE pays $500,000,000 for an American TV network with as few viewers as Current TV boasts.


They are actually buying Al Gore's entre into America's living rooms.

They are expecting Al Gore to help them gain acceptance here.

Why?

Answer that question honestly and then you'll know what the uproar is about.

You're absolutely right...and we agree on something...it's hard to debate somebody who is clueless about the topic of a so-called debate. Maybe you'll take a little time out to research the life of McCarthy. You'd most likely be a sympathizer to his cause...and his adamant need to control people through paranoia and false allegations...you know, like the one you claim about me.

Nawh...you're right...it doesn't matter.
 
Re: Al-Jazeera buys Current TV from Al Gore.....

Now this is a stupid move IMO. Any reason for Gore Selling out to the Arabs and Al Jazeera? Just what we need today our kids in this country watching Pan Arab Television and their broadcasting. Anyone else think this a good idea?

Whats bad about that?????

Al Jazeera Buys Algore's Hoax Machine - The Rush Limbaugh Show

RUSH: No, seriously, folks, stop and think of this. Here's Algore, who has become extremely wealthy perpetuating and personifying a hoax that is in large part based on the dangers of oil. Oil and fossil fuels are destroying the climate. Our use of these fuels is destroying the climate, is creating global warming, and there's nothing good about that in Algore's view. Yet who does he accept money from?

He sells his network for $500 million to the grand pooh-bahs of Qatar, which only have that money to give or to buy it with because of oil. You could say, "Well, he's taken them to the cleaners, Rush! He sold them something that's not worth anything." No, no. That's not what's happened. That is not what happened. Algore has accepted money from an industry, a nation state and industry that he tells everybody else needs to be shut down. And what did he sell them?

He sold them a propaganda arm!

He sold them a cable network that does reach 70% or 80% of the eyeballs in this country. So he took oil money. Anybody think that that's not on the up and up? Why would Algore want to have anything to do with Big Oil? He hates 'em. They're the reason that we are threatened. They are the reason that we're endangered. They're the ones that have been lying to us. They've been the polluters! I think the reason they bought him is because he's obviously good at spreading propaganda.

Al Jazeera obviously has a worldview. Al Jazeera, like any other news network, would love to be able to persuade everybody that watches it to agree with their worldview. Their worldview is not one friendly to us as a country rooted in Western Civilization. Al Jazeera doesn't have much to say about Western Civilization that's good. And yet they partner with Algore, who supposedly hates oil.

So he gets even richer, gives them a propaganda arm, and remains involved perhaps as a consultant. And then Jennifer Granholm? What's funny about this staff meeting is Jennifer Granholm asked about severance packages for people like her who are quitting. And Joel Hyatt, Algore's partner, told her to shut up. "We're not talking about the at this meeting! Bring it up later." Total, total, disrespect.
