Al-Jazeera, the Pan-Arab news channel that has struggled to win space on American cable television, has acquired Current TV, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore confirmed Wednesday.
Gore and his partner Joel Hyatt announced the sale in a statement.
“Current Media was built based on a few key goals: 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,” Gore and Hyatt said.
“Al-Jazeera has the same goals and, like Current, believes that facts and truth lead to a better understanding of the world around us.”
The acquisition could extend Al-Jazeera’s reach beyond a few large U.S. metropolitan areas, where some people can watch Al-Jazeera English.

What a strange comment coming from members of the mainstream, Obamamedia. Their voices are heard all too often. They tell power exactly what it wants to hear. They never defy the liberal talking points. They repeat the same narishkeit that the rest of the Mainstream Obamamedia is reporting. That whole paragraph is such utter nonsense.
