Excerpt:
This week, former presidential candidate and global warming guru Al Gore sold his failing cable television network, Current TV, to an ideological ally: Al Jazeera. He'd had an offer from Glenn Beck to buy Current TV, but according to Beck, he turned it down out of hand on the grounds that the two were philosophically incompatible. He had no such qualms about pocketing $100 million from the Qatar-owned propaganda outlet for America's terrorist enemies.
That's no coincidence. The two most left-leaning networks in America are now owned by two of America's greatest geopolitical foes. RT, which carries American hosts like Thom Hartmann, is Russia Today – it's owned by the Kremlin. And now Current TV, which carried people like former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm (both of whom have now quit), is owned by a foreign government that backs terrorism.
