Current

This is a new habit. Current.com - available from most cable providers. This is the TV/news organization fronted by AlGore. If I watch standard news - either msnbc, fox, whatever - then watch this, the comparison is huge. Best news-type channel available. The investigative journalism is real, a bit unnerving at times, exciting and provocative. This thing is way ahead of the curve - music, news, life. Plus some of the viewer-created content they play is great. It's like superior quality public access.

This is too good to not be great.
