Al and Al

Not Tiede and Alberghini. Gore and Jazeera.

Turns out that after Al Gore invented the internet and went off to tend to his marriage he still had time to set up a cable channel which he has now sold to Al Jazeera. No telling what he'll do now.

What is really interesting about this deal is not Gore's obvious observation regarding continuity across owners but the reaction of cable companies who will no longer carry the channel. They claim their customers will not watch Al Jazeera originated content because it is "nothing but propaganda".

Yet these same customers are glued to "Faux News" and the "Communist News Network".
