Current TV staffers rip (fracking) Al Gore for (fracking) sale to (bleep-bleep-bleeping) Al Jazeera
" “Of course Al didn’t show up,” said one high placed Current staffer. “He has no credibility. He’s supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising—and Al Gore, that bulls---ter sells to the emir?”

"The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar." ....
"A decade ago, Al Jazeera’s flagship Arabic-language channel was reviled by American politicians for showing videotapes from Al Qaeda members and sympathizers. Now the news operation is buying an American channel, having convinced Mr. Gore and the other owners of Current that it has the journalistic muscle and the money to compete head-to-head with CNN and other news channels in the United States."
Hmmm. Odd. I went to Mother Jones Magazine, a left, left, left publication and found nothing on Gore's selling Current TV. The most recent post in the magazine was January 11, 2012, so this was a current issue. I typed in "Al Gore sells Current TV" and then just "Al Gore" but there was nothing on the subject. And they do most definitely have coverage of environmental issues.
(When there is time, maybe we can go back to the late 90's, type in "Monica Lewinsky" and see if they covered that.)
