In Playing with Fire, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell recalls the 1968 US presidential election that shaped American politics.
We’ll discuss the dirty tricks politicians played to win, from Lyndon B. Johnson to Richard Nixon. O’Donnell says the 1968 election was a matter of “life and death ---- nothing less,” especially for younger voters. What lessons can we learn from that time? And what questions do you have about the world of cable news?
