Blankley is good, but he needs to do something about those suits. He dresses like one of the gangsters out of Guys and Dolls.

Kudlow's name is familiar for some reason, but AFAIK that programme's never made it to the UK.

I suspect news, current affairs and similar programs are the most parochial of any TV - they're inevitably geared hugely to their home audience. Even worldwide news channels show a strong bias - CNN International (which we get abroad rather than straight CNN) was about 50-60% US content, US sports etc. last time I watched, and the analysis was inevitably from a US viewpoint. Likewise, BBC Worldwide is very much for Brits. (Unlike, oddly, the BBC World Service radio, which is multilingual, localised in each broadcasting area, and has maybe 20% of content which is more than culturally British-interest).
