In episode 40 of Bias Breakdown, we explore how coverage of the government shutdown has focused on health care for immigrants and evolved into two partisan narratives. Left-leaning outlets emphasize that undocumented immigrants remain ineligible for Medicaid, while right-leaning outlets highlight efforts to expand or fund care for those here illegally. Both rely on selective facts about a proposal to repeal Medicaid reimbursement limits. The episode examines how slant and spin shape public understanding through partial truths.
