Al Gore Sued Over Current TV Sale

Associated Press | by Paul Elias

Los Angeles resident John Terenzio is demanding more than $5 million in a lawsuit quietly filed in San Francisco Superior Court Tuesday. Al-Jazerra announced Jan. 3 that it would pay $500 million for San Francisco-based Current TV. Terenzio alleges he first brought the idea of the Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera’s purchase of Current TV to board member Richard Blum in July, and he expected to be paid if his plan was used.
