Episode 251: Missing Rigor in Abortion Coverage
Today on Polilogue, we examine the coverage and interviews that focused on the Supreme Court abortion case. This Week stands out as a show that brought in the relevant experts and facts to have a robust conversation. Other shows like State of the Union lacked any foundation-setting segments, and Face the Nation didn’t even mention the abortion case!
We also look the continued coverage of the Omicron variant, and if/how shows may be contributing to fear-mongering tone given the dearth of tangible facts and findings about the emerging variant.
Shows discussed
State of the Union on CNN
Fox News Sunday on FOX
This Week on ABC
Face the Nation on CBS
Meet the Press on NBC
