Consider This from NPR - Covering the military parade and a No Kings rally on the same day
Recently, he covered both the military parade that brought tanks and armored personnel carriers rolling through the nation's capital, as well as the No Kings protests where people in dozens of cities across the country rallied against politicization of the armed forces by someone they called a would-be autocrat.
Many have dubbed the day as a split-screen moment - and for Frank, going to two events on the same day gave him the sense of looking at America with a lens he had often examined other countries in the past.
There are events that become a Rorschach test that brings out America's political and cultural divisions in bold relief.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - How to spot a suspicious statistic
Untruths sneak into our lives in all kinds of ways. Sometimes they’re outright lies. Blatant misinformation.
But in this episode, we’re going to talk about something else - those sneaky numbers and claims that bounce around our society and that aren’t exactly false, but are leading you down the wrong path.
That’s the subject of a book called May Contain Lies by Alex Edmans, a professor of finance at London Business School.
Tim talks to Alex about the statistical claims that might not be wrong, but aren’t right either – and how to make sure you aren’t fooled by them yourself.
