Following the retirement of Mark Shields, PBS NewsHour introduced Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post to join David Brooks for the weekly analysis segment. The hosts critiqued the new pairing, noting the lack of ideological diversity and Brooks' focus on trivial details like the coordination of poinsettias on their respective sets.
