The Qatar-based Al-Jazeera earlier this month struck a deal to buy Current TV for $500 million. Gore said on Tuesday that he had no reservations about selling the cable news network to Al-Jazeera.
He says he considers Current TV to have been a success in that it won awards and was profitable each year.
Gore in his latest book titled, “The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change,'' makes only a fleeting reference to Al-Jazeera. He calls it a “feisty and relatively independent'' satellite network.
He also takes aim in the book at corporate media for “suffocating the free flow of ideas.''
