If you are at all concerned with global geopolitics, and you are not already watching Foreign Exchange, with Fareed Zakaria, now in its second season on PBS, you really should. Zakaria has long been one of my favorite MSM foreign affairs specialists (and one of the few redeeming qualities to Newsweek magazine and ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos). And his TV program, which I’ve watched from about the fourth or fifth show, has been consistently excellent.
On this week’s installment (check your local listings – not yet on their website):
- A discussion on what US policy should be, relative to nuclear technology in India.
- A report on Estonian high tech. Zakaria reports that they lead the world in WiFi coverage, and a “paperless” government.
- A discussion of the Muhammad cartoon controversy with columnist and author Christopher Hitchens.
