All Liberal, All the Time: Former Vice President Al Gore and Joel Hyatt, an entrepreneur and Democratic fundraiser, will close a $70-million deal with Vivendi Universal for a small digital cable channel, reports the New York Observer. The channel, Newsworld International, will retain current programming of foreign news for the time being, though Gore and Hyatt hope to turn the it into a "youth-oriented public-affairs channel." While Gore claims that this will not be the "liberal antidote" to Rupert Murdoch’s FOX News (Murdoch being unabashedly conservative), his name is on the ownership of this decidedly liberal enterprise.

1. I remember Joel Hyatt. He owned a law firm in the area and did his

own TV commercials. It was kinda cool. He projected this aura of 'instantly trustworthy.' This was years before I knew anything about politics. I'm glad he's batting for our team. :-)

3. This is the first I've heard of it at all

I hope it happens quickly.

We need it.
