Episode 147: Understanding the Impeachment Trial

The impeachment trial officially started and the Sunday morning shows prioritized summaries and explanations differently. Meet the Press and Fox News Sunday provided comprehensive summaries to start the discussion—but others failed to set the stage. And no show took a comprehensive approach to bringing the audience up to speed on the events of the week. Interviews also varied in quality. For example, Chris Wallace and George Stephanopoulos excelled, asking tough questions in organized interviews.
