'Course I'm most familiar with those here in the US, but I'm happy to be introduced to talking heads from other countries. Much happier if they speak English (or come with translation).
So is it someone mainstream, or a wayfaring soul out in there in blog/YouTube land? Who makes sense of things for you? Or, best of all, who just provides the info you need in order to make sense of it all for yourself?
Maddow? Hannity? The infamous Alex Jones? Or is it someone in print?
Don''t be shy! And do please post an example of your favorite at his or her best.
My current fave is Dave Rubin. A classic liberal formerly of The Young Turks, he's done well after striking out on his own. He doesn't do "news" per se, but still focuses on trending topics by interviewing controversial figures who are involved in them, and he attracts some big names. His underlying mission is to promote healthy dialogue that eschews demonization. There's no shortage of people who lament how nasty the current political climate is, but very few willing to set themselves apart from it. Rubin does.
