>> it started with the 9/11 attacks . is can the media afford to lose interest? >> absolutely. the depressing sign of disconnection. they were introduced to it via the sex scandal and not the continuing inside are attacks. >> you have issues like iraq that is imploding and moving toward iran, better relationship with iran and in syria 60,000 people dead. we have a media that is all political and not substance. >> up next. gore grore's new pact with al-jazeera. some how-to knowledge to give us an edge, and more savings down every aisle, it only takes a few twists and turns for those bright ideas to make the new year even brighter. more saving.

were watching. mr. global warming sells his tv tv network for a oil producing country. did anybody in the media note the irony there? >> fox news noted and a number of other people did as well. i think it is marvelous that al gore managed to take station nano one watch turned it in to a cash cow. he made a hundred million. al-jazeera is good when it comes to middle eastern news. they broadcast it unlike american news stations . but al-jazeera, the problem is they are not good when it comes to looking in corruption in their own country. >> focus on the corruption of former vice-president selling a tv network for way beyond its value to a foreign oil power . look, i don't want to get brian salter of the new york

times. global warming guru al gore hypocrite on the tv. that is so potent if the media were doing the job they would take the whole deal apart. >> they will start al-jazeera america and that is it the new name of the chan and he will time warner dropped current tv from the line up. do they have a chance? >> there is it a stigma of al-jazeera from 2003, a lot of americans don't fear that. they had lejet myselfed themselves in the eyes of the american public in the arab spring. >> here is it a quote i love from the wall street journal. glen beck tried to buy current tv and rebuffed because of the legacy of who the network goes to is importantitous and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view. how does injuries al-jazeera

fit in? >> same with "newsweek" it is it a political point that outlets are trying to make. i come from the standpoint that all media is biased and al-jazeera is included . you have to balance it out. al-jazeera has come a long way and doing a better job today and you get great foreign news. >> by closing the deal in 20 12, al gore doesn't have to pay such high capitol gains taxes because he got it in for the fiscal cliff deal. that is interesting. thanks to jupedy and rick and dustin and rick. i am john scott. thanks for watch we'll see you again next week. >> judge jeanine: don't you love it when the tables are turned? when the critic finally has to walk in the shoes of those he so often criticized? when the bully gets to
