Limbaugh on Sale of Current TV to Al-Jazeera: Gore ‘Took the Oil Money as Opposed to the Beck Bucks!’
The sale of Current TV to the Qatar-owned news organization Al-Jazeera has been finalized, failed presidential candidate and massage enthusiast Al Gore announced Tuesday.
But perhaps more notable than the fact that the longtime proponent of “environmental causes” has sold his pet project to a company that relies on oil money is the fact that Current TV actually rebuffed advances made TheBlaze to potentially buy the channel.
TheBlaze was reportedly told by the network that “the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view,” according to sources familiar with the situation.
“We were not allowed to the table,” Beck said during his radio show Thursday. “He didn’t sell to the highest bidder. He looked for, Who do I ideologically align with?
And you know who’s just loving everything about the sale of Current TV? Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh:
Exit Question (via Limbaugh): Now that Al-Jazeera’s running the show, will Current TV host and former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm have to wear a burqa?
Yes, that Jennifer Granholm
Exit Answer: We’ll never know. She has already announced her plans to exit the network.

(H/T: DailyRushbo)
This story has been updated to correct the fact that TheBlaze did not submit a formal offer to purchase Current TV.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 11:35pmIn the view of many, Rush Limbaugh is a serious intellectual, a real Renaissance man. His expertise, they say, extends beyond just economy and climatology (although he’s a high school dropout), he has profound knowledge in the fields of environmental safety, the media, sports and race in sports, climate change, fracking, pollution, forms of government, communism in the UK, the rest of Europe, Canada and just about whatever subject comes into his mind.
He’s an expert on all those subjects. You’re go to guy on what to believe. You’re expert on everything. And you believe what he says. And he makes tons of money because people you believe him and want to hear his view rather than those of scientists or economists or other people who actually have some education on the topics they discuss. You know, people who are unable to evaluate for themselves the information out there, people like you who just want to hear whatever conforms with their ideological beliefs. Nobody want to have to learn all that science or economics stuff when Rush will explain it to you!

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 12:00amYou know who loves Chinese censorship as long as he can make some money? Rupert Murdoch and Fox/News Corp. Just 2 weeks ago Murdoch had this to say.
“The chairman of News Corp, which owns Twentieth Century Fox, used a speech at the Shanghai International Film Festival to praise China’s optimism, global aspirations and creativity, saying there was “no more exciting market in the world.”
And there is more. Who Could forget this interview with Neil Cavuto?
“Cavuto pressed on, wondering if, News Corp.’s interests aside, Murdoch thought U.S. companies ought to be helping a totalitarian government crack down on free speech.”
Murdoch: “I don’t object to that.
Well, certainly you can’t expect it when your own “great company” notoriously made its own kowtow to Beijing, pulling BBC News from Star TV in order to get the satellite channel into China. More recently, News Corp. empowered serious censorship with its launch of MySpace China; the site, in which News Corp. owns a minority stake, prohibits chatter about politically sensitive topics and encourages users to inform on one another.”

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 12:00amMurdoch loves China so much he is even moving into a house there:
“The Murdochs will soon be able to call Beijing home. Workers have nearly finished renovating their traditional courtyard-style house in Beijing’s exclusive Beichizi district, a block from the Forbidden City. Beneath the steep-pitched roofs and wooden eaves of freshly coated vermillion and gold, the courtyard has an underground swimming pool and billiard room, according to people who have seen the design”
“BEIJING, June 25 — Many big companies have sought to break into the Chinese market over the past two decades, but few of them have been as ardent and unrelenting as Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation.
Doug Kanter/Bloomberg News
Mr. Murdoch cooperates closely with China’s censors and state broadcasters, several people who worked for him in China say. He cultivates political ties that he hopes will insulate his business ventures from regulatory interference, these people say.
In speeches and interviews, Mr. Murdoch often supports the policies of Chinese leaders and attacks their critics.
The News Corporation’s outreach intensified. When Mr. Murdoch learned that China Central Television, known as CCTV, was struggling to develop a news Web site, he dispatched a team from Fox News to help design and operate one. Another News Corporation team brought People’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, online.”

We can see you have a real disdain for Rush, just like most libs.
For decades, the left ran unfettered on the airwaves, and were never held to a standard. Rush came along, with the voice of a common man, that saw the Emperor had no clothes on, and the left has hated him ever since. Now there is someone out there, keeping them on their toes.
Notice that ou have no problem with Chrissy the sissy Mathews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Mancow, Pierce Morgan, and the flappy jawed talkers on the left.
Notice also that you throw a big blanked of dislike on Rush, but do not pontificate point by point where he is wrong. Be it Rush, Beck, Ann Colture….. you would have difficulty debating them point for point on topics. You just hate that they shine that giant light of reality on the topics, sending the liberal roaches back under the cabinet.
If give the opportunity, you would take away the first amendment, just as quick as you would take away the second.

Come on, Rush going to only a few semesters of college means he is not smart enough to have an opinion.

In the future you will be able to telly the rich not so much by square footage of floor space, but if they have a home in a building with 3 stories or less. The 1st 2 blocks east of the Forbidden city would certainly qualify. Those buildings are a bit cramped if you have 4 or 5 families living around 1 courtyard. Nothing to write home about, but I assume they will gut them & rewire them.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 9:31amThe issue is not Al’s right to sell to the Islamists (pardon the generalization); it’s whether a foreign owned avowed hater of the United States is permitted to operate a news service within our borders. But now that I think of it … BBC already does as does RT. Didn’t Hillary once say AJ was the only good news source. WTF is up with that?
I understand there are 60 million households who will now have Al Jazeera in their homes, having purchased the service beforehand. Perhaps a class-action lawsuit for “bait and switch” is on order.
Too many Americans are blind to who our enemies are. God damn you “educators” who have dumbed-down so many.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20896484
“The broadcaster, which is funded by the government of Qatar, first gained popularity after it aired videos of Osama bin Laden following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Its willingness to show “martyrdom” videos and footage of attacks against US troops has not endeared Al Jazeera to some on the US right, who have labelled the network as anti-American propaganda.
In 2010, Al-Jazeera English blamed a “very aggressive hostility” from the administration of former President George W Bush for reluctance among US cable companies to show the network.
But Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised the network as “real news” in 2011.”
