Amidst PBS NewsHour co-host Gwen Ifill knocking Elkhart, Indiana at Wednesday night town hall for not supporting President Obama and audience members firing off some serious hardballs at him, there was one question concerning the “lack of civility” in politics that allowed the President to hail PBS as being “all about civility” while attacking talk radio as the cause of this decay. 

The woman, who described herself as “politically...in the center,” explained that she’s “spent a lot of times watching the debates of both parties trying to get a sense of who is my candidate” but unfortunately came away with the conclusion that “there was a lot of lack of civility.”
