Is the constant stream of partisan news pushing us into more like minded communities? Author Bill Bishop says that's only making us more extreme in our views. The latest installment of the Conversations on Civility is with Bill Bishop. Mr. Bishop wrote the book "The Big Sort: Why The Clustering of Like-Minded America is Tearing Us Apart" with co-author Robert Cushing. Here is his speech and audience questions held at Drake University.
