description Al Gore seems to be stuck in a holding pattern. The ex-Vice-President hopes to launch a career as a media mogul. Gore and an investor group want to buy cable news channel Newsworld International (NWI) to create a left-leaning network. But they need InterActiveCorp Chairman Barry Diller's OK because NWI is part of the Universal entertainment assets that parent Vivendi plans to merge with General Electric's NBC for $14 billion. Diller owns a 5.4% stake in Universal and wants to know how NBC will treat his $2.5 billion in preferred shares.
