Everything you need to know is in this quote:

“Based on Hyatt’s quote, the owners of Current TV didn’t want Glenn to purchase Current TV and put TheBlaze in millions of home across the country because they didn’t agree with his point of view. They must not feel the same way about Al Jazeera…”

Exactly.

GLENNBECK.COM – Late Wednesday, Brian Stelter with the New York Times broke the news that Al Jazeera would be acquiring progressive cable news network Current TV. Al Jazeera had been seeking entry into the U.S. market, and the deal will allow them to put their own programming on in place of Current on televisions across the country. But the Wall Street Journal has uncovered an interesting piece of information: Glenn Beck and TheBlaze TV tried to purchase the network and were rejected.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Mr. Hyatt said they agreed to sell to Al Jazeera in part because “Al Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current,” including “to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard” and “to speak truth to power.” Other suitors who didn’t share Current’s ideology were rebuffed. Glenn Beck’s The Blaze approached Current about buying the channel last year, but was told 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 a person familiar with the negotiations.

Based on Hyatt’s quote, the owners of Current TV didn’t want Glenn to purchase Current TV and put TheBlaze in millions of home across the country because they didn’t agree with his point of view. They must not feel the same way about Al Jazeera, a news organization that ran an op-ed comparing Glenn to a terrorist.

Glenn has taken issue with Al Jazeera in the past, noting their connections to Islamic extremism and their anti-American leanings in their reporting.

Had TheBlaze successfully purchased Current TV, the current lineup of TheBlaze TV would have replaced the existing progressive programming in 59 million homes in the United States.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Time Warner Cable announced they would be dropping Al Jazeera America as a result of the change in ownership.

Al Gore is a traitor to his own country, it proves the old adage, "money talks and BS walks....." I hope Al Jazeera fails.

Algore's new nickname is now officially changed to Al Jazeera Gore. He may hate oil but he looooooves him some petrodollars.

Oh joy, now we will be able to watch live beheadings in HD.

Unfortunately, Glen was not able to offer that option.

Al Gores eyes look as though they are being swallowed up by is ever increasing facial fat.

Just an observation.

I know Mark Levin has had problems with Glenn Beck in the past, and Glenn's unwavering support of Romney (I assumed based on religion) pissed me off, but he IS doing exactly what Bill Whittle is talking about...attacking this liberal problem by going after our country's culture. Stop arguing in debates every 4 years and start making motion pictures and television shows that are conservative at their core. That doesn't mean every show has to be about the founding fathers, either.

There have been plenty of comedies, dramas, and every else in the past that are basically conservative in their message....even if liberals ran them and snuck in some lefty crap here and there. Happy Days, Andy Griffith, Bonanza, Disney's sunday movie night... on and on. Yes, these are all "old fashioned" because anyone with a conservative bent has pretty much abandoned making anything new!

We need to FLOOD the culture with programs that are fun to watch and make us feel good about America. Books, movies, tv...it can be done. I applaud Glenn for making the attempt.

Funny, just saw a tweet that says it all. Gore so opposed the Bush tax breaks that he rammed the sale through before cap gains taxes increased to 20% in "fiscal cliff" bill and even higher under ObamaCare.

That's what he had in mind but he couldn't get it done in time. You notice this situational hypocrite doesn't seem to mind accepting a bunch of Dubai 'oil money' he used to be so against, when Bush was President.

Yes, we have Time Warner Cable, and yesterday, I got a Breaking News tweet that said TWC is dropping Current TV over this purchase by Al jazeera. I was very glad (and surprised) to see that.

They were quick to add that it had to do with the 'profitability' (ratings) of the channel rather than the 'ideology'. ;-) ;-)

Maybe I am reaching but Beck might be able to sue based on discrimination of religion to block the sale. Now that would be interesting to watch!

"Mr. Hyatt said they agreed to sell to Al Jazeera in part because “Al Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current,” including “to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard” and “to speak truth to power.”

By this rationale, shouldn't we, the American people have our own network then?

Don't see why al-jazera bothers. We've already got an anti-American, pro Arab network on here called MSNBC.

Dont we already have networks that are anti-american already. If Current TV was not able to survive what makes it think that its channel will survive.

“to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard”(well apparently the viewers did not like listening to them to keep them interested.)

Look at all the Spanish-speaking ones popping up too. Can't wait to see how the jihad treat the Mexicans.

For those of you who do not subscribe to the Blaze, I would highly recommend it. Not just for Glenn, but the other talent he has on the network. I love Wilkow, and I think the Blaze news team engages in more debate involving critical thinking than what you get on Cable. I don't always agree with them, but they bring out great points of view. I watch by airplaying the content onto my big screen after I have taken care of the family responsibilities earlier in the evening.

Beck's Christmas special was awesome. While I often think he has too much going on at once, I do like his overall message that this country can only turn on strong communities, not some representative in Congress or a President.

Now, Glenn, if you are reading this, please comp my subscription. :)

I think they are using each other to achieve their similar end game. I know how the Islamists plan to end their relationship, not sure the Leftists have thought that far ahead though. Yes, I am assumming the Leftists have at least a couple of brain cells still functioning; on that I could be wrong.

While the jihad concentrates on the left we will take down the jihad. Dual front wars don't work out too well.

"“Al Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current,”

And what would that be? Jihad and jihad and jihad perhaps? Leftist jihad is no different from the Jihad that the Jizz channel wages. On the one side you got the high preist of the Goracle. On the other side you got the high priests of the pedophile genocidal lunatic.

Both are united in their desire to destroy the west.

Wish Hannity and Mark Levin would buy a network.

Beck is not my cup of tea...he's not always, er, 'balanced'. (I'm still mad about his treatment of Newt during the primaries).

Al Gore and Al Jazeera sounds like a move to stream dangerous Islamist and Global Warming propaganda.

Do Liberals not know that they would be executed if this country were ever taken over by the Muslims? Their lifestyle is abhorrent to Muslims. Pro abortion, pro gays, pro birth control, pro anything goes gets you head removed in Muslim land.

"Mr. Hyatt said...'Al Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had for Current, to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard...'” This is a joke, right?

The words stupid and liberal are interchangeable.

(BTW why doesn't someone in the MSM do a interview with Tipper Gore now, see how she is doing?)

Do Libtard women ever think about the idea that they might be forced to wear a burka and not be allowed outdoors without a male relative? And education for girls and jobs for women? forget that... And I hope they like the idea of having to walk behind their men as well... Oh, and if he's an abusive bastard, she better not report him without 4 independent MALE witnesses or it's she who will be thrown in jail (if she's lucky!)

Liberal women who support this kind of Islamic "acceptance" are the worst kind of Morons alive!

I really don't think they do Wolfie. To the liberal elite, they just can't imagine people not seeing their logic. The only time it might come to their attention is when they are led to the gallows. Not much has changed with that group since the mid 70's when Tom Wolfe satirized them in ... Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers. Then it was the Black Panthers of the Angela Davis era and now it's the Muslims.

As with every time in the past, these 'free thinking' liberals are the first to go to the concentration camps under a totalitarian (socialist) government.

And as with every time in the past, it's those who believe in 'freedom and justice FOR ALL' that are the ones who donate all the blood to rescue them from themselves and their decisions.
