News just breaking this afternoon that Al-Jazeera, the Arab language news network has purchased Current TV from Al Gore and his partners.
The move will likely give the network, which has attracted controversy, access to the US market.
“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.
“Al-Jazeera has the same goals and, like Current, believes that facts and truth lead to a better understanding of the world around us.”
