Current TV, Big Brother and YOU
(re-blogged from Ollapodrida)

I'm sure many of you know already about Al Gore's up-and-coming "indy" media network (formerly INdTV) Current TV. If you don't now, you will soon. It'll be lurching onto your cable channels and seeping its way around the 'net in a matter of months (it's actually already begun).

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

Couldn't help it, we had to look.

For starters:
Mr. Gore's Neighborhood

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE ONCE CLAIMED
absurdly, that he invented the Internet.

On April 4 the defeated 2000 Democratic presidential candidate announced that he is re-inventing television with "Current TV," a new youth-oriented satellite channel scheduled to commence full operation on August 1st.

"We have no intention of being a Democratic channel, a liberal channel, or a TV version of Air America [Radio]," said Gore, 57, last Monday, referring to the pseudo-liberal Democratic Party propaganda network. "It is not in any way an ideological, much less partisan point of view in any respect. It will have the point of view of the young generation."

But when we look behind the screen at Mr. Gore’s partners and moneymen in this video venture, it’s easy to see why skeptics have already labeled the emerging channel "DNC TV."
Ok, keep reading this until you get to this part about Richard Blum:
INdTV Holding has taken major funding from two equity investment firms. One is venture capital company Blum Capital Partners in San Francisco chaired by Richard Blum, husband of California Democratic U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Now, go look up Richard Blum.

Now look up URS.

We ain't fallin' for this fake revolution shit.
