The hosts of Fox & Friends on Friday slammed former Democratic Vice President Al Gore for being a “great American businessman” and selling his Current TV network to the “clearly anti-American” Al Jazeera network instead of former Fox News host Glenn Beck.

On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Gore had turned down an offer from Beck’s The Blaze before deciding to accept $500 million to hand over Current TV to Al Jazeera.

Fox Business host Stuart Varney told the Fox & Friends hosts that Gore was guilty of “gross hypocrisy” for trying to sell his network before tax rates went up in 2013.

“Here’s Al Gore — extremely wealthy, ultra-leftist — he’s scrambling to book a profit on the sale of his TV network last year, when the tax rates are low,” Varney opined. “That is hypocrisy.”

8. Some might even say him and his misinformed followers are more of a threat than Osama or the Taliban

3. Are they THAT fucking stupid that they don't know that they themselves are part Saudi-owned?

Scumbag hypocrites...

4. Oh the irony since FOX is owned by Saudi Princes nt

The Saudi Prince, The Mosque And Fox News

5. Totally predictable.

As soon as I heard that he sold to Al Jazeera I knew they'd try to spin it this way.

They're preying on people's ignorance and bigotry in order to smear a prominent Democrat. Nothing new with that, unfortunately. These people are despicable.

Edited to add: As others are pointing out, it's also hypocritical since one of their biggest stockholders is a Saudi Prince.

6. Sez FOX idiots owned by an Australian extortionist and Saudi funders of global terrorism

9. Don't they remember that Glenn Beck was too crazy for FOX?

Maybe Al Gore didn't trust doing business with an insane lunatic.

10. Yeah didn't see that coming.

[and-justice-for-all]

11. It is that FREE MARKET they love so much...

Gore can sell whatever the hell he wants to whomever he wants. I do not see them bitching a fit when Mourdoch wants to buy up major media outlets and we all know who the real media terrorist is and its not Current or Al Jazeera.

12. LOL I guess each of us have our own definition for terrorist - mine comes very close to beck.
