Today on Polilogue, we look at how the shows explain and talk about a no-fly zone over Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is essentially begging western allies to impose a no-fly zone and provide concrete defense of Russia\\u2019s aggression. The US and NATO partners have all denied this request.

The Biden Administration, in particular, has zero interest in engaging in direct military conflict with Russia, citing concerns that it would trigger an all-out war with Russia. Democratic and Republican lawmakers have also agreed. But does that mean the story is over? Does that mean the Sunday morning news shows do not need to explain no-fly zones more fully? Could they provide historical comparisons? Who are the voices that are agreeing with President Zelenskyy\\u2019s request? We examine these questions and wonder if and when news organizations should provide more context for this kind of story.
