- TV news doesn't show this extent of the decline.

- Is the media being civil?
More importantly, to expand the showcase for those who philosophize in only sound bites, or who only sit back to pick at what others write, why is the media being, or not being, civil with their suppression of this?

Civil ... Civics.
Always assume innocence before you criticize or accuse.
I have always enjoyed discussions with you, even when I disagree. Only when I am exasperated by what appears as obstinate repetition am I likely to respond with unkind remarks.
As for clarity of transmissions, the idiosyncratic definition of civility—look it up—was not explained from the outset as it should have been.
As for perception of personal accusations, referring to my confusion was an insulting ad hom and not directly related to content.
As I am more a critical thinker than a creative one, my contributions will most likely consist of short disagreements.
Keep in mind that, in effect, I simply asked what this thread is about.
