The sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera has also been making waves on competing cable news channels. On Fox News, the bulk of the coverage has been anti-Al Gore and anti Al Jazeera, while CNN took a more analytical approach.

“On the Record” with Greta Van Susteren took a similar approach (watch here), as did “Fox & Friends” this morning.
CNN hosted Brian Stelter, who broke the story of the sale, and Howard Kurtz, to analyze the move.
