Political Civility Roundtable, Bloggers and Wise Guys
A government roundtable discussion regarding the decline of civility in politics blames the influence of bloggers and "wise guys." The hosts reject this narrative, pointing out that historical political discourse in the 1800s was significantly more violent and confrontational. The segment criticizes the self-importance of political officials and the establishment of "free speech zones."
