This week we look at what happens when the Sunday morning talk shows have to flip the script. The tragic and disturbing events in Charlottesville, Virginia saw the shows scrambling for guests and context. At the same time, the long simmering events in North Korea bubbled over this week, demanding more in-depth commentary than we’ve seen in the past. 

On this episode of Polilogue, we take a critical eye to these critical events, which showcase the strong and the timid in anchors, guests, and panelists.
