I like Kudlow & Company

I'm not too crazy about TV programs. As a matter of fact, I do not have TV (i.e., cable), though I watch clips from various programs on the internet. However, I must say that I really like Kudlow & Company. I don't necessarily agree with Lawrence Kudlow or guests at the show, but the followings are some of things that I like:

1. Numbers don't lie. One of problems that many news programs share is that they essentially tell us their perspective, their interpretation without presenting hard statistics. When politics is discussed in Kudlow & Company, the show presents statistics partly because the show is about finance and economy after all. This gives us a chance to evaluate Lawrence Kudlow and other guests' opinions. This is very important; we, the audience, need to have objectivity and the show allows us to have objectivity.

2. We cannot separate politics and economy when we discuss either topic. This is rather obvious, but interestingly most TV programs do not discuss both simultaneously. They often discuss politics only or economy only. This does not allow us to have a good overview of the issue discussed. Kudlow & Company gives us a better idea of what is truly happening in politics and economy because the show discusses both topics simultaneously.

3. Lawrence Kudlow is articulate and he makes it clear where he comes from. It would be nice if the new program can have a clear objectivity, but it is practically impossible; in fact, I don't think that there is any news program that has a clear objectivity. If that is the case, we want to know what the program stands for. Lawrence Kudlow makes it clear where he comes from and what he stands for. This allows us to understand views and opinions expressed in the show clearly.
