11. Robert Reich shared a story about a TV show he was on

I thought it was Crossfire but can't find it now. It was set up as a discussion of opposing views and when he and his "Opponent" found they actually agreed on many things, he got word in his earpiece that that was unacceptable. More argument and conflict was what they were supposed to deliver.

I believe this was shared on the most recent episode of his Coffee Klatch IIRC.

All the other things mentioned here have contributed to our broken media but wanted to share this specific example since I'd heard it recently.
