   Are We Losing the Ability to Live Together?

   From political messaging embedded in popular entertainment to social media algorithms that reward anger, something is changing in American culture. In this episode of The Wagner Report/Getting It Right, Rick Wagner examines the growing influence of ideology in entertainment, including shows like For All Mankind, and the increasingly volatile nature of everyday interactions. Why do minor disagreements so readily escalate into hostility? What happens when clicks, confrontation, and outrage become more valuable than reason and restraint? A look at the cultural forces reshaping public behavior—and whether the unwritten rules that once helped hold a civil society together are beginning to unravel.
