Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien

DECEMBER 12, 2020 (5x14)

Air date: Dec 12, 2020

This weekend on Matter of Fact, America is getting ready for its first shot at freedom. Within the next couple of days our health care workers will begin getting their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Stephanie Jackson’s in charge of the vital operation for Honor Health in Maricopa County, AZ. She takes us inside the hospital’s urgent preparations to immunize 1500 health care workers a day. Then, how do you know if your social media feed is telling you the truth? Whitney Phillips, an assistant professor who teaches media literacy at Syracuse University, tells Soledad it’s time we “reimagine our relationship with facts.” Plus, do churches have a higher calling to help more than just its congregation? Soledad takes us to Louisville, KY to see the role churches play in creating jobs and economic opportunity within the community.
