Description

Are you worn out with the amount of political news coming out daily? As the impeachment inquiry continues in Washington, many Americans are finding it difficult to keep up with the latest and what to believe, and it is causing them to tune out. Fake information is part of the problem, but so is the growing amount of opinion in news. Sabrina Tavernise, reporter for the NY Times, joins us for the fog of political news.




Next, while the fog of daily political news can get very thick, we did have a full day of impeachment hearings with more on the way. On Tuesday, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, Russia advisor to Mike Pence, Jennifer Williams, Ambassador Kurt Volker, and senior NSC official Tim Morrison all testified. Abbey Marshall, reporter at Politico, joins us to break down the testimony.




Finally, the last three weeks have not been kind to reboots at the box office. Doctor Sleep, Terminator: Dark Fate, and Charlie’s Angels were all flops. Part of the problem of why these reboots are not getting any traction is that many of these appeal to nostalgia for projects that came out about 20 years ago and younger moviegoers are not as familiar or attached to them as older audiences. Jeremy Fuster, reporter at The Wrap, joins us for more.
