Citizens only for ownership?

I thought that one had to be a citizen to own a broadcast outlet in the US. Howver, I see that Al Gore sold Current TV to English al-Jazeera.

If Rupert Murdoch had to become a citizen before he could own News Corp., then why is the sale of Current TV not being challenged on the same grounds?

Update:

David--Rupert Murdoch had to become an American citizen to own News Corporation.
