On Face the Nation this morning, CBS’ Bob Shieffer showed a clip of Steve Kroft’s 60 Minutes interview with President Barack Obama, which will air at 7 p.m. tonight. The president criticized a recent “coarsening of our political dialogue.”
“The truth of the matter is that there has been, I think, a coarsening of our political dialogue,” the President said. “I will also say that in the era of 24-hour cable news cycles, that the loudest, shrillest voices get the most attention.”
“One of the things that I’m trying to figure out is how can we make sure that civility is interesting.”
