Politics: Al Gore's Current TV putting itself up for sale | CainTV

October 26th, 2012

By ROBERT LAURIE - As usual, left-wing media outlets only make money when they're being liquidated
Founded in 2005 by Al Gore, Current TV quickly made a name for itself as a go-to source for environmental incoherence, Democrat lunacy, and far-left diatribes.  If providing an outlet for liberal kooks was the goal, it succeeded admirably.  However, if it was trying to attract viewers, well, it's had some difficulty.  Now, it's up for sale.
CEO Joel Hyatt recently told the New York Post that “Current has been approached many times by media companies interested in acquiring our company. This year alone, we have had three inquiries. As a consequence, we thought it might be useful to engage expertise to help us evaluate our strategic options.”
That's big-time TV exec speak that roughly translates as "We're getting ready to dump this turkey."
The network began its life by focusing on young, high school and college age, liberals.  Predictably, its early crusade against global warming failed to attract eyeballs, so it began to reinvent itself as a standard, left-wing, talking head channel - packed with a host of zany pundits that even MSNBC had rejected.
