David Corn: Breaking News, Changing History

His scoop came to be known as “the 47 percent story” and was the defining event of the 2012 presidential election. But the video of Mitt Romney’s candid comments at a Florida fundraiser is only one of many highlights in David Corn’s long career as a distinguished political journalist. Join Corn, "Mother Jones" Washington bureau chief and MSNBC regular, just four days after the fall midterm elections for a conversation with Steve Edwards, the University of Chicago Institute of Politics executive director and former WBEZ 91.5 program host.

This program is presented in partnership with Mother Jones.
