Episode 265: Centering the Ukraine Story
There’s much much (justifiable and needed) coverage about the risks and courage of Ukrainians standing up to President Putin. That said, the Sunday morning political shows have a mission beyond informing the public about the latest events—their mission seeks to elevate dialogue about US policy. Today on Polilogue we ask: how did the shows do at that function on the topic of Ukraine. We also go deeper on the US decision to scrap the deal to provide Ukraine fighter aircraft.
