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!
