Today on Polilogue we look at if and how the Sunday talk shows presented Biden’s now fully confirmed American Rescue Plan. Shows like Fox News Sunday had extensive conversations about the law’s cost and intended impact. Shows like Meet the Press failed to acknowledge the new law at all.

We all discussed the difference between vague and specific questions; the value of a good clarifying question; and how to spot when a journalist is asking a troll question.

Shows discussed 

State of the Union on CNN

Fox News Sunday on FOX

This Week on ABC

Meet the Press on NBC

Face the Nation on CBS
