LOS ANGELES — Al-Jazeera, the Pan-Arab news channel that has struggled to win space on American cable television, has acquired Current TV, Al Gore confirmed Wednesday.
Gore and his partner Joel Hyatt announced the sale in a statement.
"Current Media was built based on a few key goals: To give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling," Gore and Hyatt said.

Not sure this is a good thing. The best part about Current, in my opinion, is their documentary series Vanguard. Even though they're hanging on as board members, I can't help but feel that Uncle Al and friend are sell outs.
826-You and about 5 others were the only folks who ever tuned into Current TV.
His statement "....voices not heard...diverse points of view..." sounded like a propaganda sound bite from Al-Jezeera.
