Seeking clarity, we look to Al Gore

If you were planning to launch a current-events cable channel, what would you call it? Hey, I know: How about Current? Oh, right. That one’s taken. In a bold attempt to provide greater clarity about what his network is all about, Al Gore has named his current-events network (what else?) Current. OK, not exactly out-of-the-box thinking, but let’s give the guy credit: It’s a helluva lot better than the previous name, IndTV, which gave no clue what it’s all about.
