Jimmy Breslin remembered in book as 'Man Who Told the Truth'

Season 2024 Episode 297 | 6m 28s

From JFK's assassination to the Son of Sam, Jimmy Breslin covered major events of the 20th century as a columnist for the New York Daily News. His plainspoken approach captured the country's attention, offering readers a poetic, and blunt, perspective on the issues that mattered most. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Richard Esposito, author of “Jimmy Breslin: The Man Who Told the Truth.”
