Al Gore stands to gain about $70 million after selling Current TV to al-Jazeera

17. Well, the WAPO article didn't focus on that aspect one whit.

The focus of their gripe seems to be "Waaah--Al Gore made some money...how DARE he?" Read the thing--they don't say one lousy word about any of the on-air talent, all they do is crab about how much money Al might make, and what his portfolio looks like--it's a craven bit of anger and envy disguised as a news article.

Absolutely nothing is said about what will happen to the people working at Current in that article--it's more about the sale and the major players--buyers and sellers--involved. With plenty of griping about Al's wallet!

While we know from other sources that Newsom and Granholm are gone and won't be signing on with AJ, we don't know what's going to happen with all of the shows. Rumors continue to abound.

It's not impossible that some of these talents will migrate to other venues.

TYT used to have more viewers via the NET than anywhere else; be interesting to see if they go back to their roots or try to muscle in over at CNN or MSNBC.

CNN desperately needs a "Youth Makeover." MSNBC ought to shitcan "The Cycle" and replace it with any one of the CURRENT shows.

Maybe Miller can grab Limpballs' slot when he finally tanks--that's got to happen eventually.


Time will tell, I guess.
