Current.com is just about my dream media site and has become daily viewing for me. To put that in perspective no other site has enlisted such loyalty from me, save perhaps The Daily Show With Jon Stewart/The Colbert Report.
Current TV is intelligent, without being intellectual. Entertaining, without being naff. Funny without being too snarky. Socially and politically engaged without being preachy. Juuust right. Plus it’s television which means I don’t have to think (the last thing I want to do after or when about to begin working a nine and a half hour day.)
I happen to be in the target demographic of Current (16-35 year olds) and like any Gen C-er (that’s what we’re called apparently) I appreciate the high degree of user interactivity/generated content. Although I still prefer their in-house television shows, like infoMania and Current TV, to the viewer created videos called VC2 pods.
And I can’t decide which presenter I like better. Straight arrow Conor Knighton or scruffy puppy dog Brett Erlich? I bet they’d both make great boyfriends.
