Episode 251: Missing Rigor in Abortion Coverage


Listen Later

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
