Gore Turned Down Glenn Beck For Qatar

[Pheonixops]

Hey, it's the "free market", what's wrong or illegal about the sale? We have good relations with Qatar, so what's really the big deal? Beck has his own network, it's available on satellite tv.

So Al Gore made millions railing against global warming caused by fossil fuels and now gets $100 million of middle east OIL money.

What a man of principles!

Isn't Al just being a good capitalist and free marketeer? I do see the irony, but hey "money talks and bullshit walks". Maybe he needed the money. He sold it to: "Al Jazeera Media Network (formerly known until 2011 as Qatar Media Corporation) is a Middle Eastern multimedia corporation based in Qatar and is the parent company of Al Jazeera and much of the domestic media of Qatar. The chairman is Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani.[1][2]".

The irony is pretty funny though!

Thank God the freaking pervert lost the election. Let's cut through the crap and admit that Al-Jaazera is the left wing propaganda source for the jihad. Now it's out in the open that Al Gore shares ideology with people who are dedicated to the destruction of the United States. Global warming is an extortion scam designed to make the US poorer and Al Gore richer through carbon trading scams.

Gore Turned Down Glenn Beck For Qatar​

By Alana Goodman

Glen Beck was too "right wing" - So Gore sold to "an authoritarian-Islamist government that has criminalized homosexuality, discriminates against non-Muslims, prosecutes journalists, and has a “Not Free” rating from Freedom House."

Before Al-Jazeera, there was Glenn Beck.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Glenn Beck’s media company, The Blaze, approached Current Media about a sale last year, but was told in the words of one source that “the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view.”

In explaining the reasons for selling to Al-Jazeera, Current co-founder and CEO Joel Hyatt told the Journal that the Qatari-based broadcaster “was founded with the same goals we had for Current,” including “to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard” and “to speak truth to power.”

Sure, Al Jazeera can “speak truth to power,” as long as the powerful are not in Qatar.

The hypocrisy of your piss drinking isn't even funny any more.

Here is Bush chumming with the Emir of Qatar.

And Bush is relevant how too this topic??

It points out the hypocrisy of the piss drinkers. This story about Gore turning down Beck for Qatar is whizzing around the right wing blogosphere.

I would bet hard money none of the piss drinkers were bemoaning Qatar as "an authoritarian-Islamist government that has criminalized homosexuality, discriminates against non-Muslims, prosecutes journalists, and has a “Not Free” rating from Freedom House" when Bush was chumming around with our ally.

The hypocrisy from these piss drinkers positively causes vapor lock with their sheer audacity. I am starting to believe they have the memories of goldfish, or they just don't care that they are hypocrites and liars.

According to the Sunday Times, the government of Qatar, home of Al Jazeera, is paying protection money to Islamic terrorists. THE government of Qatar is paying millions of pounds a year to Al-Qaeda in return for an undertaking to spare it from further terrorist attacks, according to official sources in the wealthy Gulf state.

Qatar is the global headquarters of Al Jazeera the pro-Jihad, pro-terrorist TV news channel, that has direct lines of communication with Al Qaeda and a host of other Islamist terrorist outfits.

WoJ - Al-Thani's of Qatar are Paying Off Al Qaeda

 

[Cowman]

They sold to Al Jazeera because they were founded on the same principles. Good to know who Al Gore and his progressive crew sees as their idealogical allies.

Umm... excuse me? Show me how Al-Jazeera is to be anything other than commended. There is a reason they have earned awards and accolades over the past decade plus worldwide.

Please, show me something more than your fucking "Sounds like a rag-head newspaper!" train of thought.

Fucking SHOW ME. But you can't... all you can fucking say is that they're headquartered out of Qatar and a Muslim owns the network.

Ooooh so scary!

Ugh.... Your too stupid, it would be a waste of time.

Cause you have fucking nothing. It would be a waste of time for you to try to come up with something and end up with nothing.

7% is not "large".

When your Google starts working again, maybe you can look up "Al Jazeera owns 100% of Current TV".

Cheney retired from Halliburton before taking office as VP in 2000. Halliburton moved its corporate office to Dubai in 2007.

Do you have a point?

 

[francoHFW]

AJ won the (UK)Royal Television Society cable channel of the year last year, and many other awards. They make Beck, Fox, Rush, and the rest of the Pub Propaganda Machine look like the crappe propaganda they are....

AJ has news centers in 71 countries- they make the msm effort look pathetic too. As usual, the people who hate it have never seen it. Too bad the hysterical RW have already made its job close to impossible here.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

its a certainty that the classless tools that endure currents programming will love al jazeeras swill.

 

[francoHFW]

Which you've never seen, dupe.

Every other country gets AJ...why not us, ugly 'Merican shytteheads? HMMMM?

Anyone saying Al Jazeera can't broadcast in the United States?

Free speech and free press.

The interesting part of this is that Al Gore said that Al Jazeera shared his principles.

Maybe it's because they share the same first name

 

[ogibillm]

Do we know what Beck's offer was? How do you know it was "free market"?... particularly when the information sited tells us that Beck was refused for ideological reasons.

Who cares what Beck's offer was? Selling one's interest in a business is not part of the "Free Market"? A person can sell or not sell their interest in a business to who ever they want, that in itself is being free. Do you think that a person who has a large stake in Foxnews should sell their interest to Soros because he made them a larger offer than the Kock brothers?

Yeah... he's free to sell to who he wants. And we're free to think he's crud because of it. Glenn Beck is a guy who believes that the U.S. Constitution means what it says. Compare that to Islamists who believe that apostates and homosexuals should be subject to the death penalty and women treated as chattel.

have you personally ever watched al jazeera?

i'm guessing no.

 

[francoHFW]

#72- Except corporations, either controlled or scared by the RW, don't exactly ALLOW free speech, dupe. Up to now, you CAN"T watch AJ on TV in the USA.

 

[Avatar4321]

Except corporations, either controlled or scared by the RW, don't exactly ALLOW free speech, dupe.

Which, of course, is why the Democrats want to silence those corporations.

 

[GoneBezerk]

algore likes islamic terrorists...they grew in power when he was VP.

Gotta love the old bbbbbuuuut he did it also ,a 3rd grade deflection.

Bush, Cheney, Peter Rabbit , and Elmer Fud are irrelevant

Gore and and the Left cry a river over out sourcing blaming everyone but themselves.

Now that's pegging the old hypocrisy meter.

Congratulations! When you want corporations controlling the countrym you're a FASCIST! lol

When you call ALL Muslims terrorists, dingbats, that may be what you call "self-fulfilling prophecy" in the end. Perish the thought you might get educated. Ugly 'Merican Pub dupes- the worst voters in the modern world- dying off thank god.

 

[Wehrwolfen]

BTW, Current TV runs excellent documentaries.

You rw's wouldn't like it. There's no Honey BooBoo or unREal Housewives shit. Just intelligent programming.

I guess you're referring to Oliver Stone's propaganda film. You know the one where he distorts and lies about the history of America.

Did anyone notice that Al Bore tried to beat the rise in Capital Gains taxes. Just a trifle hypocritical I'd say.
