America is in the grips of polarization, and the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump has underlined the potential for an escalation in political violence. It has never been more important for the media to complicate dominant narratives and resist oversimplification. Today, a journalist I admire returns to the program to model what that looks like in practice, bringing us a nuanced story about tensions within the conservative movement over school vouchers.

Alec MacGillis is an award-winning American journalist, and a reporter for ProPublica. He’s also the author of Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America.
