In this video I'm joined by the author and academic, Howard Burton, for a conversation about some of the key themes from his new book: 'Exceptionally Upsetting: How Americans Are Increasingly Confusing Knowledge With Opinion And What We Can Do About It'. The current culture war in the US is considered alongside the deep divisions that exist within American society and the role played by the mainstream media in formenting these divisions. Howard also offers a forward thinking perspective as to how these divisions can be healed in the years ahead.
