James Robertson's 'The news where you are' [View all]
Robertson's monologue is from a Scottish perspective, but it applies to political regionalism and the media wherever you are.
On another YouTube version (with less clear audio but louder audience response), this exchange happened in the comments:

Excellent. Although, mind, I live in London, and we get "the news where you are" too, which suggests that the "where you are" and "where we are" isn't a matter of geography.
James Robertson
Absolutely right, Tim.There is geography and political geography. However, if you watch the BBC News online, the default 'news where you are' is - guess where? - London
