Current TV, the small cable news channel that was co-founded by former vice president Al Gore, has been sold toAl Jazeera, the Qatar-based media company.
The acquisition gives Al Jazeera, which is funded by the Qatar government, the opportunity to establish a footprint in the United States, where it already has an English-language version of its Qatar service — called Al Jazeera English — but only limited reach.
…..
I’m guessing it’s reach already exceeds that of Current TV.
AHHH! yes yes yes!
I am against media conglomeration.
Maybe if I try really really hard I. Can get some kind of internship with them this summer that would be sick. OK GO NEW...
I’m guessing it’s reach already exceeds that of Current TV.

This shit is getting global — now where’s my France 24?!?
this is the singular best piece of news I have read in months.
