Fareed Zakaria

Fareed Zakaria's GPS is what all cable news should look like. It embarrasses the rest of CNN and its competitors by comparison. Zakaria actually acts like a) there is an important world outside the United States and b) that insight can be gained by interviewing  a broad range of non-famous experts rather than just asking the same fifteen full time employed pundits how the world works (David Gergen, Paul Begala, Donna Brazile etc).   He also seems to focus on how policy will affect people, rather than how it will affect the outcome of the mid-term elections.  To say it's a breath of fresh air is gross understatement.
