Preview Text In Email: This week on The Divided States of Media,  Dan sits down with David Smick, Director of Stars and Strife, a new film that should be required viewing for all Americans as an antidote to the hate and divisions that plague us. The film was co-produced by Barry Levinson (Think Rain Man, Good Morning Vietnam, The Natural) and includes interviews with Rahm Emmanual, James Baker, Leon Panetta, Alan Greenspan, and a host of other powerhouse contributors; it’s a history lesson in how our society has become so addicted to hate, media’s role in the decline of civility; and the antidotes to what ails us. Our interview with the Director goes deeper on topics pertinent to business leaders and people in media to help do our part to heal as a nation. The film will bring you to tears, while this interview will give you a deeper understanding.
