| Al Jazeera, the pan-Arab news giant, has long tried to convince Americans that it is a legitimate news organization, not a parrot of Middle Eastern propaganda or something more sinister. It just bought itself 40 million more chances to make its case. Al Jazeera on Wednesday announced a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore, a former vice president, and his business partners seven years ago. Al Jazeera plans to shut Current and start an English-language channel, which will be available in more than 40 million homes, with newscasts

Comments: PJ Tatler calls Gore´s hurry to make the deal before 12/31 is the biggest irony ever, that obviously taxes are for the little people.

#1, I agree with you. I watch the Al Jazeera newscast every day on North Texas television which carries the broadcast from Doha. They give broad coverage to international news which most US networks do not. I think I am pretty good at sniffing out propaganda and I find almost none on this particular program from Al Jazeera.

Hillary said Al Jazeera is the only real news. Then it´s settled. Indeed. Years ago (pre2001)when the Mayo Clinic was a Mecca to Arabs, all the hotels in Rochester, MN carried Al Jazeera. Personally, I am not happy about paying for it .

#6, I don´t find Current [or Al´s Jazeers, for that matter] on my cable lineup from Cox. I forget which comedian said it, but he said he didn´t watch Current TV since he doesn´t get channel ´one million´...
I would watch AJ for the same reason I [occasionally] watch PMSNBC or CNN, or why I used to listen to Radio Moscow back in the good ol´ Soviet Union days: it always pays to listen to the enemy and hear how they think.

Ah, yes. The cleaned and tydied up American - or should I say English language version - of what the Sultan of Qatar would like broadcast.
Don´t be fooled. If you could read a translated version of the Arab newscast your skin would crawl. As someone else said, CAIR has it´s filthy hands in this.
Mr. Gore, what would your parents think? For shame. It´s as if when people get so drawn in to this new "Progressive" arm they become almost unrecognizable. Even their physical characteristics change, i.e., Hillary. What´s needed here is an exorcism.

Imagine this: Algore tried to avoid paying the higher tax rate: 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.

Wow - the globalist Pro-Regressive Left just keeps pushing, don´t they......?
I´m just about done with all TV, quite frankly - Fox News included. (I´m sick of the ´´fair and balanced´´ Left they present.) As soon as The Blaze TV gets on over to DirecTV, and it´s bye-bye to the rest.
I also just discovered that with a subscription on my cell bill I already pay for, I can get **some** live TV, which includes a number of shows I already watch. Now, if I could figure out how to connect my cell phone to my 41´´ flat screen.....
Actually, now that I think about it, with a subscription to Blaze TV web version, I could completely eliminate that DirecTV satellite bill altogether. Hmmmm.....
Ya´ll can check in on Al Jazeera if you want and report back here once in awhile (appreciated!), but I´ll be happy staying right in my own little nest. There are scary tough times headed our way and I´m devoting myself to preservation, self- and otherwise.
Yeah.....

Al´s dad was a gofer for Armand Hammer, who never made an honest dollar in his life, prospering, instead, on government payments of one sort or other, be it from the KGB or the US wartime economy.

And then, these creeps rush through the sale so they don´t have to pay the increased taxes that they all say we need more of. How many disgusting things are in this one transaction. Al Gore.

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

On weekends, he left town for his job as an instructor at a flight school, residing in Grapevine with his second wife, Leslie Gardea, who traveled during the week.

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002.

His name is an iconic Democratic brand, he’s forceful on the stump and a prodigious fund-raiser. Besides, somebody has to win the nomination. Of course, there are hurdles. Saint Hillary is gearing up to run, and there will be a scrum among contenders, probably including Vice President Joe Biden, competing just to be Clinton’s top rival.

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
