FOX is a voice of anti American propaganda and people are fine with it. I suspect that you know little about Al Jazeera.

Who wants to bet that Algore closed this deal before 12/31/2012 so that he could avoid his "fair share" of taxes?

Fox wants to control America? How would that work? Can a news network run for President?

Take your time. I can tell you haven't given this any thought whatsoever.

Who said that? NOTE: The voices in your head do not count.

I think the moonbats are confusing Obama and America again. I keep telling them that not supporting Obama is not the same thing as not supporting America...but it never sinks in. They forgot dissent used to be patriotic.

It's that whole unhealthy cult-of-personality thing they've got going on.

FOX promotes hatred among Americans. They make people believe incredibly stupid things in order to stir up trouble. Some people mistake patriotism with jingoism, FOX goes after patriotic Americans who have different beliefs than they do, this is anti American.

What a guy -- Pan-Arab Al-Jazeera Buys Current TV From Al Gore - ABC News

The best part is how Al Gore and the other owners pushed for an early closing date to avoid taxes after the network pushed for higher taxes on the rich.

Al Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday.

Al Jazeera is a good network with a good reputation.

Personally, I think it will improve the content. It will certainly make them a little less biased against Israel.

Progressives have a hard time telling the truth.

Current TV co-founders Joel Hyatt and Al Gore seemingly attempted to help insulate themselves from criticism for selling their TV network to Al-Jazeera by invoking the name of former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell. Only, the story they tell about Powell’s relationship with Al-Jazeera is not true, a spokeswoman for the general tells The Daily Caller.

“Colin Powell told Al [Gore] that Al-Jazeera is the only cable news network he watches,” Hyatt wrote in a Current TV staff email Wednesday announcing the sale of the network.

But in a statement to TheDC, Powell spokeswoman Peggy Cifrino said the general watches many cable news networks — not just Al-Jazeera.

“General Powell watches a number of foreign news channels to include Al-Jazeera America. He also watches U.S. cable channels,” she wrote.

In follow up email, Cifrino clarified that she meant Al-Jazeera English, not Al-Jazeera America, which is what Current TV is slated to become.

Current TV did not return TheDC’s request for comment on a number of issues regarding its sale to Al-Jazeera.

Remember that above all they are businessmen, so of course they will take every tax advantage they can.... wouldn't you?
They play by the "Do as I say, not as I do" rule

Why would it be treasonous to sell to Beck?

Oh, yes -- it's because you're more loyal to the progressive agenda than you are to the United States.

Kerry on.
