Am I Right?

Am I Right? is Detroit Public TV's local public affairs show that discusses the top news issues and events of the week providing analysis from both liberal and conservative points of view.

Nolan Finley, editorial page editor and columnist for The Detroit News, and Debbie Dingell, political analyst, square off as hosts of the half-hour editions that provide rapid-fire commentary from conventional and moderate perspectives on issues that have a direct effect on Michigan and its citizens.

Finley is inclined to reflect a conservative view of current issues, while Dingell tends to express a liberal point of view. Together, they generate respectful conflict and fresh ideas designed to spur you to form your own opinions and become involved in issues that affect you. The program has featured interviews with newsmakers from non-traditional to traditional perspectives.

With weekly episodes taped in the studios of Detroit Public Television, Am I Right? examines issues such as public school funding, taxes, crime, politics and business development.

During this segment, Nolan Finley and Debbie Dingell discuss:

Topic 1: The big topic in local news this week is the consent agreement that Governor Rick Snyder presented to the city of Detroit. Mayor Dave Bing and the City Council could be looking at their last chance to avoid a complete takeover

Topic 2: It’s another week, and another twist in the Republican Presidential Primary. Rick Santorum swept the South on Tuesday, and that could make him a contender for Mitt Romney’s frontrunner status.

Topic 3: President Barack Obama’s approval rating has gone down this week, as gas prices continue to go up. Obama’s opponents think that those rising prices will cost the President support among money-conscious voters.
Watch Weekly Discussion.
