Global warming denialists and teabaggers are probably working themselves up in a lather over Al Gore's alleged troubles with his CurrentTV cable channel:

For much of the past year, Current TV has been quietly undergoing an overhaul that will change just about everything but the struggling channel's name. Current declined comment for this story.
It's a revitalization project Gore & Co. embarked on after exhausting a more lucrative possibility: selling the channel. Current's founding partner, Joel Hyatt, spent much of 2009 shopping the network with a price tag that wildly overestimated the company's worth, confirmed sources at several conglomerates. Current even had extensive sale talks as far back as 2007 with Google, where Gore serves as a senior advisor.
If the preceding doesn't convince you of the insidiousness of that hit piece, consider the following:
Depending on which insider you ask, Gore was either: leery about letting his cable channel bask in his halo in fear of seeming self-serving; too distracted by the production and subsequent success of "Truth" to even have the time to get involved, or Current TV management intentionally kept Gore at arm's length in fear of turning the channel into Gore TV. The truth is quite possibly a combination of all three.
It's obvious that the media is truly trying to savage Al Gore and the cause of global warming.
