Just as they did for Air America, the NYT is starting a publicity machine for "Gore TV."

Betting a Network on Youths Who Think

"Reality television has spawned a generation of viewers who feel entitled to be on camera. Current allows people to take editorial control - something they cannot do with Fox or MTV - and create their own programs.

For all its rough spots and blog pretensions, Current is for-profit public-access television, an attempt to add grass-roots diversity to a television universe that is ever more controlled by a few media conglomerates. Current is easily mocked, but it is at least one youth-oriented cable network that does not dance to the tune of the 82-year-old Sumner Redstone, the chairman of Viacom."
