The New York Observer reports today that Al Gore and his business partner, entrepreneur and Democratic fundraiser Joel Hyatt (the founder of Hyatt Legal Services) will acquire Newsworld International (NWI) for around $70 million from the French company Vivendi. For now NWI is only available in around 20 million homes (it�s only on a few cable systems and DirecTV) and will continue in its current format. But that will soon change. Gore�s goal is to change the channel �into a youth-oriented public-affairs channel.�

Y'know, when I think of Al Gore, I think of his splendid telegeneic charisma. Don't you?
