Al Gore's new network Current TV debuts tomorrow. I'm not going to judge it until I see it, but I have a few thoughts preceding its debut:
-It is going to try too hard to be cool. We already know that it is going to be calling segments "pods." Ripping off terminology from Apple's iPod craze is a sign that we'll see plenty of this.
-This network is going to underestimate the capacity young people have for hard news, and the result may be a lot of dumbed down junk.
-No political leanings, Al? The news updates will be based off of Google News, which has a leftward tilt.
-Has anyone heard that their cable provider is picking this up, or will this be the exclusive domain of satellite subscribers?
