Civility and the Media: Ellen Goodman, Joe Klein and Kathleen Parker at UMass Boston

Footage from "Civility and American Democracy: A National Forum," produced by The Center for Civil Discourse and held on February 17, 2012 at UMass Boston.

Topic for this session:
Are the media part of the problem or part of the solution? In the competitive, ratings-driven world of mass media,
where is the market for civility? Is the "problem" of incivility a fiction propagated by the media? This panel of distinguished journalists reflects on the day's discussions and what can be applied from them to improve journalistic best practices.

Joe Klein speaking about civility and the media? Have people READ Time magazine and his uber-leftist column? Hopefully not - since I myself can't bring myself to read a magazine I used to enjoy. Now CNN has dropped it's last facade of being journalistic by having this fool on. I couldn't even watch this video once I saw the clowned prince of insider media was featured.
