Great reporting Liz. So if they are losing money, they probably aren't paying too much in taxes. I wonder what their interest payments are? Any sense of their cash flow? IE is more money going in than out, or vice versa?

This is the best post I've seen on Newteevee yet. I'm flabbergasted. The profitability of Current TV has been the focal point of its press for the past three years. I'm stunned it's bullshit. What does a company have to gain by alleging success? Why do I feel it's a marketing gimmick? Was it used to attract more user-gen producers? Did they want their do-gooder employees to feel better about themselves? I don't get it.
