So, apparently Alessandra Stanley and the NY Times are under the illusion that MTV still plays music:
It was impossible not to snicker a little at the notion of Al Gore creating a hip, youth-oriented cable network, and sure enough, Current TV is at first glance a punch line: MTV without the music.
Jeez, if you want to suck up to Al Gore, be my guest. After all, look what you've done for Air America. But before you embarrass yourself any further you might want to listen to this. Just click on 1985. (Special bonus if you notice the link is actually from MTV!)
DOWNDATE: Oh, this stuff is like, great. Their journalism professors must so proud -- 8 minutes!
