Good riddance....

Al Jazeera to fold up the tent

And Al Gore laughed all the way to the bank.

AMEN, to THAT !!!!!

 

[PistolBob]

And Al Gore laughed all the way to the bank.

ahhh...but not entirely....Al Jazeera had to sue Al Gore...and Al Gore had to sue back...seems they both lied about many things in the deal...neither snake wanted to pay up in full.

They're not just shutting down the TV service...all digital service to America as well....

Good!!

 

[jwh20]

Had I not read it here I'd NEVER have known! Never watched it and never would have!

 

[oldpink]

Adios, AlGoreZero.

 

[Cynical]

I have tears the size of horse turds at this loss of world class journalism. It was also a favorite news source of Hillary because of their truthfulness, go figure.

 

[PistolBob]

Article said they had 30,000 viewers during one ratings measurement....out of the entire US....then they go an bad mouth Peyton Manning...may they stay at the Motel 6 and get bed bugs.

 

[Mgderf]

Should have closed before it opened.

Wonder if somebody's looking to buy their place in the various cable company lineups. I know Glenn Beck tried to buy that channel from Gore when he had it up for sale. I'm not sure if he's still interested in it or not.

Where will Almrjarrell get his news now?

The precipitous drop in oil revenues seems to have hit the owners of AlJ. with a sort of "bump in the journalistic road," no?

...but folks who like "BBC with a Turban" need not worry. I suspect the sheikhs could probably buy Reason for a fraction of the cost, reach the same number of people...and accomplish the same overall journalistic goals.

 

[Loco179]

Good Ole Al scores again. I just have trouble thinking that anyone in their right mind would have even thought this would work. My guess is that they were paying for or buying a favor.

What would do well is another conservative network. They could buy up those cable rights, and sail right in.

 

[Alamo]

If I won the Powerball last night (NO SPOILERS PLEASE, I haven't checked results yet) I would look into buying Al Jazeera and/or the New Republic, then take them a "new direction" and watch heads explode, just for the fun of it. I'd probably hire Rush Limbaugh to do the staffing...

IKR!

Peyton Manning: 1
Al Jazeera: 0

Well done sir.
