My Unlikely Favorite.

I have a new favorite Sunday show. I say that this is unlikely because I tend to thoroughly enjoy the right vs. left banter. I also very much enjoy the liberal biased views of the MSNBC political nightly shows.

But a very nice break from all of this is GPS with Fareed Zakaria. Each week he tackles the current issues but he does it unlike any other Sunday show. He goes deeper and examines issues more thoughtfully. He lets his guests actually answer questions and has meaningful follow up questions.

He does not shy from tough issues. One of these is the Isreali-Palistinian issue. One show a few weeks back had representatives of both points of view. I came away from that show a bit depressed because there seemed to be no common ground on either side. Both sides were dug in and unwilling to see the other side.

GPS goes beyond right vs. left and America centric coverage. He covers stories that have more of a world view and interviews with foreign leaders, but I dare say some of the best interviews and analysis about the American financial crisis has been on Fareed's show.

I recommend if you have time to watch GPS is on Sundays on CNN at 1:00 P.M. EST. http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/fareed.zakaria.gps/

CNN's description of the show "Fareed Zakaria GPS is an hour-long program that takes a comprehensive look at foreign affairs and the policies shaping our world. Every week we bring you an in-depth interview with a world leader, as well as a panel of international analysts who examine the major global developments of the week. As always, Fareed's emphasis is on new ideas and innovative approaches to solving the world's toughest problems."
