Current TV finds a falsely-dichotomizing booster

MTV and VH1 have their share of serious-minded features about H.I.V. in Africa or teenage pregnancy, but those public service appeals are wrapped around sexploitation music videos that send an entirely different message. Current has less cognitive dissonance.

There are no reality shows where housemates sit around and egg one another on to hook up. Current is not all images of hip-hop musicians preening like pashas over undulating, underdressed dancers.
