Hypocrisy Run Amok: Gore Says al-Jazeera, Murdoch Says al-Risala… Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off

Last week, TheBlaze published a series of articles detailing the sale of Al Gore’s Current TV to the Qatar-based Al Jazeera network. Established was also the fact that Gore and company made a point of claiming that the reasons for choosing to sell to Al Jazeera stemmed from their aligned ideologies. Since Al Jazeera was first to provide a forum to Osama bin Laden immediately following the 9/11 attacks, has consistently propogated blood libel and hosts a rabidly anti-Semitic, anti-Western Islamic televangelist as its star-talent, the idea of such “shared goals and visions” is unsettling to say the least.

Which brings us to what really compelled Gore and his partners at Current TV to sell their network to Al Jazeera: Money.

Indeed, it is not so far fetched to think that perhaps Current executives were simply acting in the name of capitalism. After all, it would be difficult for Gore to turn down $100 million of the $500 million total offer Al Jazeera placed on the table. Not to mention, while we don’t have access to all of the offers the network received, it stands to reason Al Jazeera’s was likely the highest offer Current had received.

Now if Current executives had been forthright in their motivations for selling to Al Jazeera, while some  would still not have liked their choice, it would have gone a long way in fostering at least a modicum of respect for the sheer honesty alone. What most critics are likely upset about is the hypocrisy involved — and that hypocrisy spans an extensive gamut including but not limited to:

  • An “environmentalist-pioneer” (Al Gore) selling out to a network funded by Middle East big oil.
  • A proudly liberal Current claiming it shares core values with a network that consistently perpetuates anti-Semitism, anti-Western sentiment and whose “talent” openly supports the whipping if not outright execution of gays and lesbians, the subjugation of women and a host of other ills anathema to human rights and true progressivism.
  • A man who, some might claim favors the “fair share” meme, trying with all his might to push through the Al Jazeera deal prior to January 2013 in order to avoid the increased capital gains taxes that would be incurred following the enactment of the Fiscal Cliff bill. He failed in his efforts, however, making Gore, in the words of Blaze finance writer Becket Adams, “the world’s lousiest tax-dodger.”

But are Al Gore and his cohorts the only ones playing both sides against the middle here? Fox News, while its anchors and pundits have been astute in pointing out the intellectual and ethical inconsistencies of Current TV executives, seem to be missing one fairly glaring example of hypocrisy right in their own backyard: Namely that Fox head Rupert Murdoch owns nearly 20 percent of Rotana Media, the Arab world’s largest entertainment company and parent of the Kuwait-based network Al Risala.

What’s more, Al Risala, which is Arabic for “The Islamic Message,” is owned by Saudi prince Talal bin Alwaleed, who also happens to own a 7 percent share of Murdoch’s News Corp., making him the largest single shareholder after the Murdoch family. This in itself might not raise eyebrows if it were not for the type of content Al Risala dissemniates on a regular basis, which is an amalgamation of anti-Semitic blood libel, Islamist-supremacy, anti-Western sentiment and Muslim Brotherhood  propaganda.

Dr. Andrew Bostom, scholar and author of “Sharia versus Freedom” and author Diana West have provided a wealth of information showcasing the type of Muslim Brotherhood-driven content offered on Al Risala as well as greater details on Murdoch’s stake in the Arab media outlet. But other than a precious few who have sat up and taken notice, who else will speak out when the truth no longer fits the narrative they’d hope to spin?

It might not have been popular for West or Bostom to call Murdoch’s bluff — after all, Fox Network has typically been a powerful champion against the very ideals Al Jazeera and Al Risala embody — but they believe that integrity matters. What is good for the goose is just as good for the gander.

On the satirical front, Daily Show host Jon Stewart took a jab at Fox in a segment that duly noted the double-standard at play when the network’s talking heads condemned Al Gore. The issue, however, is that while correct in his assessment of Fox, Stewart simultaneously downplayed Al Jazeera’s true nature by characterizing it as merely a “Muslim” network disseminating a Muslim – not an Islamist — point of view. That, of course, is disingenuous, unless he seeks to imply that everyday Muslims share the same worldview as imam Yussuf al-Qawadari.

Now one might posit that since Murdoch never vocalized sharing the same goals and values of the various networks he helps to fund, he is somehow less culpable than Al Gore. It could also be argued that since Al Risala is not (yet) catering to an American audience, the Australian media mogul has managed to keep above the fray, or at least, beneath the radar when it comes to hypocrisy. At the end of the day, however, so long as money rules the day and people continue to invest in businesses with blood on their hands, capitalism will continue to be given a bad name. It doesn’t matter which side of the political fence the investors fall on, they will be judged, and rightly so, based on the company they keep.

Sunlight is always the best disinfectant.

    Murdoch never professed to be anything other than a capitalist! Gore decries capitalism and petroleum on a regular basis then profits from these very things…. Hypocrisy is simply defined as saying one thing then doing the opposite!…Murdoch is a profiteer, Gore is a hypocrite!… And by the way,Jon Stewart ended up where most failed comidiens go, Into politics.

      “Gore decries capitalism on a regular basis.” Are you lying about that, or will you post a link to Gore decrying capitalism.

      And while you’re at it, explain to me why you think it’s okay for Murdoch to give financial support to terrorist organizations.

      Of all the “isms” discussed in the article only one matters to most people regardless of ideals or beliefs — materialism. All others “ideals” are just a means to an end or a pacifier to soothe the soul, or both. Money is like a drug to many. You may have plenty but its never enough. I view many of these clowns like the TV evangelists of yesterday. They preach “repent” all the while their going to a prostitute after the show. In the same way, all the politicians crying pay your fair share are tax dodgers and slimy money changers. Why are the masses so dull and slow to keep their masters in power? Just like the Hebrews who wanted to go back to their slavery, America would rather be oppressed yet provided for then live free and provide for themselves. Truly sad.

      AL Gore is one of the leaders of the Global Warming/Climate Change scam. Which is nothing more than Global Socialism by way of redistribution of wealth from the wealthy countries to the tyrant run underdeveloped ones. Under the cover of Carbon TAX or blocking the US from developing it’s own Natural Resources but forcing us to buy them abroad. Which is once again redistributing our capital to tyrant lead nations.

      He’s not anti free market, when it comes to his pocket book but when it to others…?

      As far as global warming being a “scam” did ya hear this? 2012 was the hottest year on record, and records have been kept for about 180 years!

      Hey Miami, don’t worry about record temperatures and record violent weather events. Humans can’t effect the climate! That’s just stupid, as any right wing radio personality will tell you.

Funny how idiots like you scream and shout about believing the climate scientists because there experts but when experts on extreme events say the opposite to what you believe then you think they should be ignored.

      The 2012 climate data was altered several times before they were able to “find” those high temperatures.

      And in any case, one year does not a climate trend make. And if it were a trend, that doesn’t prove CO2 is to blame. And if CO2 is to blame, that doesn’t prove the supposed dire consequences. And if the dire consequences were true, that doesn’t prove we could stop it. And if we could stop it, that doesn’t prove that we should stop it.

      And if we should stop it, that doesn’t prove we need a one-world government to stop it.

      Once there were dinosaurs and the great plains was a huge ocean. I think, just speculating mind you, as there are no links to that era as Al Gore had not invented the internet, that it was a little warmer then. The Vikings farmed in Greenland, could have been warmer then as well.

      GLOBAL WARMING And next year could be cooler than this year and it will be called climate change. Someone will count hurricanes and floods and make bold statements about man’s ability to impact weather. At the same time people and companies making big money off of “global warming” are just good guys who care. The oceans haven’t changed and the weather is just as it was for my me as it was for my dad born long long ago. Saddam Hussein set 1,000 oil wells on fire and our global warming experts claimed it could impact the monsoons in India. India scientists laughed at the idea. Nothing happened to India. The burning oil wells were basically a local event in the middle east. Regardless of how big we little people think we are, we are nothing to the planet. Referencing weather records less than 200 years old on a planet over 5 billion years old shows a lack of critical thinking. Everything that supports the view of climate change is referenced and everything that brings it under scrutiny is ignored and attacked as false and evil. Even the leaked emails are ignored by the supporters of global warming. To ignore the profit motive, political motives, the altered data, the emails, common sense, satellite data, attacks on TV weather people….It means that you simply believe. Like religion.

      And from a scientific point of view, any theory that is supported by peer pressure and intimidation loses credibility with impartial, free thinkers. Science that’s legislated starts moving in circles.

      C.S. Lewsi warned about governance by scientists way back in the early 20th century. It ultimately leads to oppression as human life is devalued.

      Watching Fox was an alternative to my always being mad at someone for not asking the right questions. It isn’t that Fox is so much better, it is just that once in a while guests get challenged for making outrageous statements. I mostly watch Glenn Beck, some of The Real News, and a few Hindi stations that feature singing and dancing. For me total TV for the day seldom exceeds 1.5 hours. That is a big step forward from when I was a kid!

    This article DRIPS and OOZES racism.

    Al Gore has NOT been criticised for selling anything to MUSLIMS. Who cares?

    The hypocricy is theefold:

    1. Mr. preachy-condemning-savior of the world is selling to BIG OIL! It would be NO DIFFERENT if Al Gore had sold out to BP Oil. The principle is the same. It’s about OIL– not Muslims.

    2. It is his stupid comment that they SHARE THE SAME GOALS. Rupert Murdoch never said that. If Al Gore had not said something so stupid, the criticism would be lessened. It think the hilarity is that Al Gore was TELLING THE TRUTH when he said they shared the same goals. Hahahahaha. What is it about that which some people don’t get????????????

    3. It was ultimately about CAPITALISM. Mr. condemn capitalism – in the end- acted like a capitalist! Murdoch has NEVER been anti-capitalist. Al Gore is a typical liberal.

    Once again, to say this has ANYTHING to do with simply selling something to Muslims (as the author suggests) rips racism and demonstrates a profound lack of understanding. Who cares if they are Muslim- or Hindu- or Budhist- or whatever.

    It’s about the lie that modern environmentalism means anything beyond trying to control OTHERS.

Here is a story about a woman who is surrounded by Muslims in her apartment complex. The Christians and Jews who live there are harrassed continually by the Muslims. In one instance, they hung a burka on her door and told her that it was “compulsory” for her to wear it now when she went out. They also knocked her grocery sack out of her hands because she had pork chops she was going to cook for lunch. They warned her that pork was not allowed on the apartment complex’s property. It is on its way to America. Freedom is slipping through our fingers folks!!

      Al Gore is the same guy who lived or lives in a mansion that uses 20 times the normal power usage of the average American home. “Do as I say, not as I do” is Al’s motto. Total hypocrite.

    Rupert Murdoch … owns stock in a Muslim station, the major owner of FOX also, .. man is there anyone out there that has a smidgen of integrity? No wonder Fox had to get rid of Glen Beck .. Beck was just too straight for that network … sheesh

      Just so you’re momentarily clear, Stewart didn’t break anything about Murdoch. It’s well known about the prince and Newscorp, at least amongst some of us.

      Watch this doc please KeatonC33. This is where the progressive ideology has brought us, you seem so pleased with Gore and most probably Obama, communist, progressive ideology. This is killing America as we know it and the world is following. Gore, Obama, Saul Alinsky, Karl Marx all the same thing, read about the latter two.

      KeatonC33…..The next time you’re forced to attend a dinner party, keep an eye out for the global warmer. Then ask him what he thinks about supermarkets (wicked), ‘consumer society’ (soulless), world trade (cruel) and government regulation (more needed). Global warmers are, in short, anti-capitalist. But – and here’s the really important thing to understand – it’s a very specific form of anti-capitalism. We might call it posh anti-capitalism.

      In the old days, when there was less swearing on TV and kids were scared of policemen, anti-capitalism was coloured Red. The Reds complained that capitalism would cause the ‘immiseration’ of the workers, and they dreamed of giant socialist factories, out-producing the West.

      The tragedy (for the Reds) was that capitalism didn’t play ball. Instead of getting poorer, ordinary folk got richer – much, much richer. For the simple reason that capitalist mass production must necessarily go hand in hand with mass consumption. What the new-leftists call ‘consumer society’.

      But these days, anti-capitalists are coloured Green. They campaign not in the name of the working class, but of ‘Earth’. Instead of giant factories, they dream of little handicraft workshops and organic peasant farms. They complain not that capitalism will impoverish the workers, but, on the contrary, that capitalism has made them too rich. It is the very success of capitalism that seems to upset them.

    This doesn’t surprise any one. When we heard FOX was moving towards the center/left we all knew it was for money not ideology.

    “Sunlight is always the best disinfectant” yes.. and when the lights are turned on, the cockroaches scatter. I feel as if our little upstart, the BLAZE TV is just about the only place left that stands up to tell the TRUTH. This is exactly why Glenn Beck refuses to be in debt to anyone… and that, my friends, is the KEY.
