We had a one-on-one chat with Bob Herbert, former op-ed columnist of the The New York Times and national correspondent of NBC. Known as "the conscience of The New York Times" for shining a spotlight on societal injustices, Herbert's working on a book entitled "Wounded Colossus" about the greatest challenges facing the United States today. Produced for TheNewsHouse.com by Jessica Cunnington with host Katrina Tulloch and production assistants Theodore Rysz III and Julia Palmer.
