To some degree, you have to treat them all with kid gloves or smiles. It's TV dammit, don't take it so seriously.

We should stop putting those two on an ivory tower.

Coal.

Oil.

Cracking for shale oil.

Yeah, you're soaking in GHG too.

I don't think it's fair, but I'd forgotten how true it is.

B) Al Jazeera covers the perils of climate change quite well when compared to ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, BBC, etc. It's almost like they have some sort of wall between the journalism they produce and the financials interests of their owners. How novel.

This 'controversy' is just typical Beltway village idiocy.

His justifications could certainly be countered (though on my part, by only baseless assertions and speculation), but that's still not a satisfactory answer?

Doesn't Al Gore know the rules?

I don't see the problem with this.

Also, he's correct in his assessment of Al Jazeera's environmental coverage. I doubt any other network would've been as pro-environment as AJ after a sale.

Gore's goal was to keep Current alive by finding a buyer, one that not only would align closely with his network's mission but have a strong prospect of not folding on its own any time soon.

Name me a SINGLE willing buyer for Current that would have been even HALF as able to offer both of those elements as Al-Jazeera English was.

A deal needed to be done. Media ships are sinking all around, and Gore better than anyone knows the importance of a solid platform for a sustained voice on climate change coverage.

I think he did great. Yes, he made a mint himself, but he put his own money behind founding it, I have no problem with that. And that this deal strengthens Al-Jazeera English's ties with the right kind of U.S. media power - I think it really helps solidify that Al-Jazeera did the right thing in creating Al-Jazeera English and setting it off in the new, leftward direction it did.

Win-win-win.

That's what I say every time I jump in my SUV and cut down the bike lanes to get to Seatac for a flight to Mexico for a week's vacation.
