No, I will agree here with the unbiased statement. Having watched current for some time now, the fact the content is coming from viewers not tv anchors/entertainers makes it as unbiased as the person submitting the video. The reason why this tends to lower bias, is that most people are not extremists, and submit the video to promote a cause, the media on the other hand is there to entertain now, so it picks viewpoints that will create controversy. To explain the overall bias of the channel it is important to note that the "pods" are chosen by users, meaning the overall leaning of the all the videos is a representation of what people like. So if you dislike the leaning, you submit your own videos, you vote on videos you agree with; you have to remember the whole idea of Current is that it is your network, so devise it how you choose.

So, just to prove the random and uncontrollable nature of the election......let's not Digg political stories. Let's talk about everything else. It would be the prank of the century. We would be talked about for minutes, maybe even hours after we pulled it off before everyone got bored and thought about something else.
