Episode 251: Missing Rigor in Abortion Coverage

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.
