huffpo- "Al Jazeera has acquired Current TV, the progressive cable news station co- founded by Al Gore"
translation: Anti- American propoganda machine extends it reach through purchase of flailing American Progressive Cable News Station founded by former American Democrat Presidential Candidate...."no controlling legal authority"
"former Democratic presidential candidate was insistent that the sale to the Qatari channel be completed before December 31. That date was important to Gore because he was trying to avoid the higher tax rates that President Obama has been clamoring for so desperately for years.
Unfortunately, despite their best efforts to avoid “paying their fair share,” Gore and his partners were unable to get the deal done before 2013:
Al Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday."
I've seen a number of responses to various posts regarding this...apparently Al Jezeera is one of the most reputable, reliable and unbiased news sources in the world.........oh, and if you suggest otherwise you are probably a racist
