Episode 261: The Comeback of Political Panels
Today on Polilogue, we examine the use of political panels. Are they worth it? Should they come back in their original form after the long COVID hiatus on some shows? This could be an opportunity for the shows to breathe some life into their structure. They could reexamine if and how political panels could be worth it in their hour block. But sneak peak: the shows haven’t done that. Many political panels are back and as lazy as ever. They are full of hot takes with little purpose other than to inflame viewers.
Shows discussed

This Week on ABC
