“Incivility is a symptom, not the disease. We've always had partisan conflict in Congress, and we always will. Yet when I worked for a year (1970-71) on the staff of Sen. Ed Muskie of Maine, this was a different place, more collegial, more sensitive to data, more concerned about all of the American people. I think because the for-profit media prizes conflict above cooperation and sound bites above analysis, politicians have learned to adapt to those tendencies. Consequently, our public debates are dumbed down as our problems grow more complex.” PeopleThinkingYearsDifferentProblemGrowsSoundMediaPoliticianConflictDiseaseConcernedComplexesCongressProfitDebateTendenciesDataAnalysisSensitivePrizeCooperationBitesStaffSymptomsDifferent PlacePartisansMaineSound BitesIncivility Author:Tom Allen
“There are so many people who are conscientious and caring about others. I've spent time working in countries where I really noticed the absence of civic concern, care for other people. I've been in other countries where I feel a palpable, almost tooth-and-claw attitude between people - Machiavellian, me and mine. And you can take for granted being here, with all the bloviating and the media, on a day-to-day level, people in this country are really pretty concerned for each other.” PeopleFeelsCountryCareLevelsAttitudeMediaMinesConcernConcernedCaringAbsenceTeethGrantedOther CountriesDay To DayCivicsClawsReally Pretty Author:Edward Norton
“The west is very concerned and actually afraid because the media is not informing them. There are too many moderate Muslims who are trying to whitewash the fears and concerns of the West. It's time for us to face reality - nobody is against Muslims. When I'm speaking about this situation, it's about Islamic doctrine. Islamic doctrine promotes violence and hatred against non Muslims. 60% of the Koran is dedicated to cursing and spreading hatred and violence against non-Muslims who are called 'Kaffir'.” TryingRealityFacesSituationViolenceMediaConcernConcernedHatredWestDoctrineIslamicDedicatedModeratesCursingInforming Author:Reza Aslan

“We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security." Everyone says "national security" to the point that we now must use the term "national security." But it is not national security that they're concerned with; it is state security.
