Al Gore Sells Current TV to Islamic News Network
Yahoo News reports that former Democratic VP Al Gore has sold his struggling Current TV channel to Islamic news network Al-Jazeera:
The former vice president confirmed the sale Wednesday, saying in a statement that Al-Jazeera shared Current TV’s mission “to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling.”
But Time Warner Cable refuses to be a party to The Two Als’ effort to spread anti-American propaganda:
The deal suffered an immediate casualty as Time Warner Cable Inc., the nation’s second-largest cable TV operator, announced it would drop Current TV due to the deal… “Our agreement with Current has been terminated and we will no longer be carrying the service. We are removing the service as quickly as possible,” the company said in a statement.
And “anti-American propaganda” is certainly the right term for it:
Dave Marash, a former “Nightline” reporter who worked for Al-Jazeera in Washington, said he left the network in 2008 in part because he sensed an anti-American bias there.
As a capitalist, I support Mr. Gore’s right to add to his $100 million net worth.
As an American, I’m ashamed of him for doing it this way.

Have you no decency, Mr. Costas?

Kid Rock on Obama: “I’m sorry he didn’t do a better job.”
Kid Rock appeared at a campaign event with Paul Ryan, and expressed his disappointment with the failed Obama presidency:
I am very proud to say that we had elected our first black president. I’m sorry, I’m sorry he didn’t do a better job. I really wish he would have — I do, but the facts are the facts and we just saw them come to light in the last debate with no outside BS, no bias media involved, no interruptions and negative politics ads every five seconds and, most importantly, no damn teleprompters.
Yeah, that kinda sums it up for many of us.
It’s been an historic presidency. Historically bad.
Let’s turn the page and move on.

Bev Perdue: Now Twice As Offensive
Time is running out for North Carolina’s lame duck governor Bev Perdue, so she’s going to the hurry-up offense.
With the clock running down on her one-term governorship, Perdue simultaneously insulted the people of two states this week. As the News & Observer reports:
“Passage of a constitutional amendment defining marriage as solely between a man and a woman makes North Carolina “look like Mississippi,” Gov. Beverly Perdue said Friday.
The chairman of the Mississippi GOP said Perdue was out of touch with voters, while that state’s governor called the comments disappointing and said he would write Perdue a letter telling her so.
