Snark
We've talked a bit over the past several months about the way Americans are treating each other with less respect than we remember, in politics, in the media, in social media, etc. "Snarky" behavior is one of the ways we're disrespectful and one author says its ruining our interaction with each other. David Denby tells us exactly what snark is and why we should stop "being snarky."

David Denby - Film Critic for The New Yorker and Author of Snark: It's Mean, It's Personal and It's Ruining Our Conversation
