August 1968, 50 years ago: fighting the police outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, while the whole world was watching: it was the culmination of an overwhelming year for the anti-war movement. But where was young Donald Trump? Activist, sociologist and author of "The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage," Todd Gitlin, comments on politics then -- and now.
Plus, John Nichols says the age of Trump is NOT a golden age for American journalism -- cutbacks and mass layoffs have crippled our news media, just when we need them the most.
