"Glenn Beck wanted to buy it but Al wanted to sell

" Glenn Beck wanted to buy it but Al wanted to sell to them instead. I don't know if it is true. "...

Yes, it is.  I heard Beck himself say so on his radio show.

Here is a quote from an article on the sale: [ http://www.bernardgoldberg.com/al-gore-hates-...oil-money/ ]

"Turns out Glenn Beck wanted to buy Current but no way Gore and his team would ever let that happen.  They refused to take an offer from Beck because, as one source put it, “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.”
