Saudi prince bin Tallal is a major stockholder in Murdoch’s News Corp. Al Jazeera is available every evening on Link TV. It is far less biased than FOX and gives a world-view of the news (without commercials). In other words, it gives news about what’s going on beyond U.S. borders.

And, by the way, Beck didn’t even make a bid for the company, so you are telling us that as Americans we don’t have a right to sell our assets to somebody that you don’t happen to like.

Since I really don’t think that’s what you believe, I suggest you right a follow-up opinion to explain the exact principle you believe applies here and when you believe we are free enough to chose our own buyers.

Read it, watch it, and then decide for yourself.

I now have to question Al Gores sanity and loyalty to America even more than before. I guess half a billion dollars mean all morals and just plain common sense goes out the window. Thank god this jackass was never president!

Close call!!! Imagine Al-Jazeera being higher on Gore’s esteem scale than Glenn Beck!
