Will the hearings be broadcast in their entirity today ?
I was very disappointed that MPR turned to regular programming after Senator Graham completed his session.
Yes, it was available online but I suspect that many of your listeners were in a vehicle (or doing work with the radio on in the background) when MPR switched off the hearing.
I appreciate that MPR offers this service and have found it to be highly informative during the Roberts and Alito hearings. The first two days have also been appreciated ... at least the portions that I heard.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
