Current TV Staffers Reportedly Angry That 'Bullsh*tter' Al Gore Sold Out To 'Big Oil'

Current TV's sale to Al Jazeera has sparked a variety of opinions ' and according to a New York Post report, many of the network's staffers are not pleased with the buyer. Given that Al Gore is known for his environmental activism, the reaction to Gore selling Current to a network back by 'big oil' was apparently not pleasant.

While the first meeting with Al Jazeera was not contentious, the report cites anonymous staffers who characterized it as miserable. Gore, himself, was said not to be present.

'Of course Al didn't show up,' said one high placed Current staffer. 'He has no credibility.

'He's supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising'and Al Gore, that bulls***ter sells to the emir?'

Some other angry quotes from the article included:

'We all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a bulls***ter,' said the staffer bluntly.
[...]
'Al was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all right'as in cold, hard cash!'

Oof.

The Post remarked that some of the staff is 'still in denial,' and some are skeptical of Al Jazeera's 'inform, inspire and entertain!' message.
