In the News with Jeff Greenfield: Lawrence O'Donnell

Mar 13, 2022


At a time when there are clear and present dangers to our fundamental pillars of freedom, how can they be defended? Award-winning network TV veteran Jeff Greenfield is joined by Lawrence O’Donnell, recently named by Politico as “MSNBC’s most critical anchor” with “a rare, direct line into the Biden White House,” for an in-depth conversation on the critical role a free press plays in the survival of liberty and democracy, when distrust and misinformation are rampant. They’ll share expert insights and analysis on what Putin’s invasion of Ukraine means for the cause of democracy in the US and around the world, as well as the role of social media in strengthening or weakening the democratic process — especially during a war. And looking ahead, they’ll explore the threats and opportunities the 2022 and 2024 elections pose. Don’t miss what’s sure to be a fascinating conversation on how the media — in all its forms — impacts the democratic process.
