Mackinac Policy Conference 2019, Part 1: The need for “civility” in political discourse – and how to make it work

May 29, 2019
During his appearance this past January as part of a five-person panel providing a “Sneak Peak” of the 2019 Mackinac Policy Conference, WDET Detroit Today host Stephen Henderson spoke disparagingly of Nolan Finley, editorial page editor of The Detroit News. Repeatedly. [1-4] Every so often he’d look out into the crowd consipiratorially, as if to suggest it obvious that nothing written by Mr Finley was worth reading.
