Sumner solstice: Viacom stock struggles, Redstone juggles


Newsweek offers a wide-ranging and occassionally amusing interview with Viacom‘s supreme commander, Sumner Redstone, who addresses everything under the sun son, including being sued by his; the rivalry between MTV Viacom’s Tom Freston and CBS Viacoms’ Les Moonves, and, yes, The Pelican.
(“I have read The New York Times, and I still say I saw nothing in it that would make me change my opinion [of Brad Grey]”)

In some respects, this sort of folksy, “candid” chat reminds us of a Sports Illustrated interview with the reticent Evel Knievel from 1968.
