Heard about it on the local news here last night. Al Jazeera buys Al Gore's Current TV - CNN.com What's more hilarious is that CNBC reported not long ago the below: Glenn Beck Tried to Buy Current TV But Was Rejected - Yahoo! News CNBC mentioned that Glenn Beck's company tried to pull together as much as $300 million but once Current TV's banker realized who they were talking to, negotiations fizzled. That would've been hilarious if the above went thru.
