Rated G for Gore - Will that ever elusive twenty-something TV market tune into a channel programmed by policy wonk and one-time presidential contender Al Gore? Apparenty Al is set to spend other people's money on acquiring the moribund Newsworld International and reposition it for the MTV crowd. Hey, they're going after the right target audience, but I can't imagine the any amount of hip-hop theme music could possibly be enough to fake the jaded Generation Y into caring about current events. I'm a bit shocked to discover DirecTV actually carries this channel -- how's that for value-added programming? I guess I'll have to tune in after the sale and see if it lives up to the buzz.
