Article on Gore's cable channel
"Former Vice President Al Gore announced plans to transform a long-overlooked cable TV network into a channel for young adults, though he insisted it wouldn't become a liberal alternative to Fox News.

The Newsworld International Channel, currently owned by Vivendi Universal Entertainment, will be purchased by Gore's company, INdTV Holdings, for an undisclosed sum, it was announced Tuesday.

Newsworld International is a 24-hour channel broadcasting international news produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that now reaches about 17 million North American households.

Gore's group said Tuesday it is buying Newsworld International with an eye toward retooling it with "irreverent and bold" programming aimed chiefly at young viewers. Gore said it wouldn't push a liberal agenda."

2. O' Retard mentioned this
as his "Ridiculous" thing of the day. Not sure how he keeps a straight face when he does that segment.

Of course O'Retard characterized it as a Liberal network. He wished it as much luck as the Liberal Radio station (which he said was tanking).

He really needs to put some research into his Liberal bashing.

Cheers
Drifter
