Episode 174: Cases Spike, Trump Distracts

Everyday we learn of new record-breaking case counts of COVID-19. Cases are spiking, especially in states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona. But instead of sharing words of confidence and assuredness in two recent speeches, President Trump lambasts the far left and urges the preservation of America’s history. 

Today on Polilogue, we explore if and how journalists have learned to simultaneously cover the comments of this president and the breaking news of the day.
