Morning Public Affairs Programs
Morning Public Affairs Programs
Sunday, June 28, 2020
For much of the last four months, three story lines have dominated the news: the health and economic consequences brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic; the social and political movements spawned by the deaths of unarmed African Americans during encounters with law enforcement officers; and the political free fall that President Trump and his party find themselves in as election day 2020 approaches., This has left little room for discussions on the five top Sunday public affairs news programs about immigration, refugees, xenophobia, or other issues.
While last week's decision by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) provided an opening for talk about immigration during the June 28, 2020, editions of those programs., this week returned to form, with the programs once again being exclusively composed of discussions about the those three dominating stories.
A summary of the discussions that took place during the June 28, 2020, Sunday morning public affairs programs, follows:
