Sumner of our discontent: did the NY Times just call Redstone OLD?

In a mostly patronizing mishmash of a tick-tock about cable newcomer Current, the NY Times' Alessandra Stanley indulges a sub-Anthony Lane cultural sideswipe or two before coming to a pleasing full-on crash of a last graf: "...Current is for-profit public-access television, an attempt to add grass-roots diversity to a television universe that is ever more controlled by a few media conglomerates. Current is easily mocked, but it is at least one youth-oriented cable network that does not dance to the tune of the 82-year-old Sumner Redstone, the chairman of Viacom."
