Video: Vanity Fair‘s Wolff Spars With Columbia Journo Prof On PBS Panel

It may be hard to believe, but this morning’s breakfast panel hosted by PBS featured some fireworks — namely, a fiery debate between Vanity Fair columnist Michael Wolff and Columbia Journalism professor Todd Gitlin.

After being interrupted numerous times, Gitlin reached across fellow panelist Brooke Gladstone, co-host of NPR’s On The Media, exploded back at Wolff. Said Gitlin to Wolff: “You lack grace!”
