I happened across Michael Rosenblum in an hour-long C-SPAN interview a few weeks ago and he blew me away. He never spoke about newspapers, but focused on TV and his background that included how Al Gore came to his house to talk about building Current TV and why Michael now thinks Current TV has the wrong concept.

Anyway, fascinating man.
