One of Ours

A Wonkette operative tells us that Al Gore plans to annouce at noon CST today that he and partner Joel Hyatt have successfully acquired the Newsworld International cable channel from Vivendi. Gore will make news of the sale to his company, "IndTV" (clever!), public at the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters [I'm an idiot. That was last week.] National Association of Cable & Telecommunications ("The National Show"). The content of channel will not change, says our operative, "They bought a full-functioning network. . . they're probably gradually going to change it." (Well, someone's learned something from Air America. . . )
