Al Gore Launches Own TV Network

Recommended Posts

Okay, he headed an investment group. It's an AP article on FoxNews. I love this quote though from the first sentence, "...that will offer 'irreverent and bold' programming for young adults."

Heavens to mergatroid...:S I can see Al Gore trying to be irreverent...it would be like that time when he spoke to a bunch of baptists and he got all "God-like" and "savior-like" preachy...

Edit to add: I also like this quote: ""This is not going to be a liberal network, a Democratic network or a political network," Gore said at a news conference." bawhaahaaahaaa! Look at the networks that target the demographic he's talking about: Inherently liberal. I'm not saying that's bad, but young adults, in college or otherwise, tend to be left of center...until they grow up anyway. ...:P;):)
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

So this is going to be the refreshingly boring yet mildy stupid network? Wonder if he will claim to have invented network TV later on.....



The CBC might request that he share the credit...:P

Is Fox or Comedy Central supposed to be scared?
I'm not sure I can see Al Gore on the Man Show.
Now, the Simpsons...

Heh, you should come by Texas A&M's campus sometime. Conservative folks going to school. Infact, A&M is one of the few campuses that didn't have a war protest during the Vietnam war. We did send a good number of Aggies to fight there, though.

It depends on the college and the time. When Bush I bombed Iraq, there was a lot of celebration where I was, much to the dismay of the faculty. But, I understand the tide has changed there... along with my alumni support. :)

That's unfortunate. I bet the faculty is about to make a mess in its pants at the prospect of this new network... :S
