Chris Stirewalt is the politics editor at NewsNation, a former Fox news analyst and host, and the author of Broken News: Why The Media Rage Machine Divides America and How to Fight Back. He joins us to talk about his time at Fox, and how the "fair and balanced" slogan they tote is less benign that it seems. Also on the show, an exploration of the new House rules produced during the Kevin McCarthy vote-wrangling last week. And a very transmissible Omicron variant is among us. It's dangerous and, most importantly, it has a scary name "The Kraken."

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
