This article is from 2003. Mentions the radio briefly, but also a cable station.

SNIP...."As Time magazine reported, Gore has met with Hollywood power brokers and potential financial backers.

The plan, it seems, is to launch a station that could compete with Rupert Murdoch's conservative Fox News Channel, the cable station that beat CNN in the Iraq ratings game by waving flags and excoriating all things anti-war.

The magazine also reported that Gore has been acting as a conduit between high-profile liberal commentators and Sheldon and Anita Drobny, the Chicago venture capitalists who announced plans to fund a progressive radio network that would act as a tonic to the conservative elixirs served up by Rush Limbaugh and other idiots..."

Isn't it sad we have to make our own news to get the truth?
