Al Gore and some liberal investors are "about two weeks away" from striking
a deal to acquire Newsworld International, a cable network they plan to remake
into a liberal news channel. But AdAge reports they're hoping to avoid the
"liberal" label (just like every other liberal news channel). "Instead, it will
be aimed at the under-25 crowd," AdAge reports. An unnamed adviser characterizes
it as a combination between liberal news channel CNN and liberal music channel
MTV.
Meanwhile, Fox News Channel reports on a new poll of Americans' beliefs about the supernatural. The partisan breakdown is interesting:
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say they believe in God (by eight percentage points), in heaven (by 10 points), in hell (by 15 points), and considerably more likely to believe in the devil (by 17 points). Democrats are more likely than Republicans to say they believe in reincarnation (by 14 percentage points), in astrology (by 14 points), in ghosts (by eight points) and UFOs (by five points).
Seems to us Gore & Co. are missing an opportunity to throw the Sci-Fi Channel into the mix.
