Across the pond

Some thumb-sucking in the States that, from September, the big three tv networks will all have white male hosts for their main nightly news shows. David Muir will take over from Diane Sawyer at ABC World News, joining Brian Williams fronting NBC, and Scott Pelley, at CBS.

Looking across the 6.30pm ET schedules, Fox News offer white male Brett Baier; CNN have Cross-Fire, with a mix of hosts including Newt Gingrich, Stephanie Cutter, S.E. (Sarah Elizabeth) Cupp and black American Van Jones, a lawyer and former Obama advisor. MSNBC have black American Al (formerly Reverend) Sharpton, and Al Jazeera follow suit with Tony Harris.  The BBC World News channel in the States has Katty Kay.
