COVER STORY: The great divide: Politics in the Age of Trump | Watch Video
Increasingly, we Americans occupy alternate universes, with very little common ground -- only battling perceptions of reality. A Pew study finds 81% of voters say they cannot agree with the other side on basic facts, and in this age of the Internet and cable TV, very little is out of bounds. It is hard to think of anyone effectively drawing the nation together.
Ted Koppel talks with Fox News host Sean Hannity, New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet, and White House Spokesperson Sean Spicer about the state of political discourse today.
