Too funny. From Glenn Reynolds:

 

AL JAZEERA BUYS CURRENT TV. “Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1.” That’s Irony #1.

Irony #2 is Al Gore walking away with $100 million in dirty oil money. Well, it would be ironic if it weren’t so predictable. Al’s a whore, basically. Gore, I mean. Not Jazeera.

Forget about flying airplanes into buildings. The jihadis have found a better -- easier -- way to take over America: Just find corruptible Americans and use Arab oil-money to corrupt them.

Did Current TV make money?

At last, a happy ending for al-Gore.

I wonder if the transaction was handled by Arcapita?

Mary, I can't find an answer to your question, but Current TV did last 7 years, and "generated an average nightly audience of 42,000" -- according to al Reuters. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/04/us-currentv-aljazeera-idUSBRE90301I20130104
