Hypocrites? Fox News' 'Un-American' Ownership

"On Friday, the Fox & Friends crew relished in taking on Al Gore for selling Current TV to Al Jazeera. Guest Stuart Varney took apart the various hypocrisies of the deal, incredulously noting that the former vice president of the United States has sold his network to a "clearly anti-American news channel."

The segment recalled Gore's remarks this past November when he pointed to the Clinton administration's argument that we should all do our fair share. "The single most popular proposal we had was to reduce taxes on working people and lift the higher rate," he said then."*

Fox and Friends had a laugh about Al Gore's Current TV being sold to Al Jazeera, snickering about them being "un-American." Funny thing is, Al Jazeera has far more prestigious journalism awards than Fox News could realistically hope for, not to mention their second largest shareholder isn't exactly "American." Cenk Uygur, Ben Manckiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) break it down.

Muslims don,t own these things. These r owned by the rich people which r few in no.s and they simply don,t give a shit about anything in which public r interested. They don,t think like public . Yes, they may call themselves or born as muslims but their true identity is money and its do the talking for them. Its the truth all around the world.And they use religion and people as means . Btw, in china, nothing is owned by them and its in Asia and no.2 in economy.

Glenn beck couldn't afford it!! Beck is an idiot as his followers who are patriotic by hatred against anyone who they don't agree with. Maybe you shouldn't live in America since its the most diverse country in the world. Like most fox viewers said to Americans who questioned Cheney. Leave the country if you don't like it. I'm sure most of you still have families in Europe from where majority of have a grandparent or great great grandparent who immigrated here.

aljazeera is in cahoots with obama and erdogan playing a dangerous game they all don't like each other but they think they are being smart but when you play with fire it burns

I don't get what all that gibber gabber is all about. Are you putting some jesus-curse on us or something? I don't hold with all that superstition and ghosts and jesus rising from the grave and wondering around like a zombie from a George Romero movie. Try to concentrate on real people and the real world, not make-believe.
