Summary "Press hosted Crossfire and The Spin Room on CNN, and Buchanan and Press on MSNBC. A member of the White House Press Corps and columnist for Tribune Media Services and The Hill, Press was an early supporter of Bernie Sanders and hosted two of the Senator's first presidential strategy sessions in his living room."--from Dust jacket flap.
Press, a talk radio host and political commentator, is synonymous with honest journalism, intelligent commentary, and progressive politics. As a Catholic, with ten years of seminary studies for the priesthood, he was on his way to be a rock-ribbed conservative. Here Press details his gradual transformation to the left, and covers his years hosting Crossfire and The Spin Room on CNN, and Buchanan and Press on MSNBC. -- adapted from jacket
