RFK Jr, Media Coverage and the Gish Gallop

NPR's "On the Media" criticizes ABC and CNN for their handling of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential candidacy. The segment defines the "Gish Gallop," a rhetorical technique named after creationist Dwayne Gish used to overwhelm opponents with a high volume of arguments. The hosts mock the media's struggle to interview Kennedy without resorting to censorship or real-time fact-checking.
