If I won the Powerball last night, I'll look into buying Al Jazeera America AND the New Republic...and take them both in new directions. :evil2: I could have so much fun with that...

I'm honestly surprised it took them this long to go under... some serious money must have been funneled into them to keep them afloat so long...

I am so sick over this forgettable loss, I may have to reload ammo, or clean a rifle or pistol.
I will think about all this over a ham sandwich at noon today.

Well, they "funneled" a bunch of money to Al Gore buying his cable channel.

I don't even like to slow down scrolling by it when I'm checking the guide for something to watch. It's as bad as having to look at Pelosi, Reed, or Bloom-whatshisface. I'd rather watch a Preparation H commercial.

They were biased, but far better than any other US news network IMHO. One of the few I'll bother looking at online.

I don't have cable though so I wasn't able to watch them.

I feel bad for the employees. Instead of handing out pink slips, everyone got a bomb vest.
