In this episode, John Hiner and Eric Hultgren talk about the level of vitriol found in the comments on MLive stories and even the stories of journalists who have been doxed because of the stories they have written. We talk about the impact of social media on accelerating this division, the importance of journalism in a rich and thriving democracy, and a better understanding of the First Amendment.
