On our first post-COVID (but not post-pandemic) episode, we discuss…you guessed it…COVID! But today’s Sunday shows provided a series of fascinating examples of new issues in journalism. First, we dissect two interviews with new NYC Mayor Eric Adams and ask how the hosts have fared covering the complex topic of education. Next, we go deep on an extremely critical interview with CDC Director Walensky on Fox News Sunday. Is there such a thing as being too critical (spoiler alert: no), or too agenda-driven (yes)?

Shows discussed 

State of the Union on CNN

Fox News Sunday on FOX
