This Sunday, March 19th at 8:30am

NEW YORK, March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- In an age of bribery, scandal and even pay-offs, Americans must question ... are politics cleaner today than in the past, or is history merely repeating itself? Has the American public lost respect for the media's reporting on the behavior of public officials? HISTORYCENTER examines how America has handled scandals in the past, and who the public holds accountable for these compromising behaviors. American politics may be cleaner today but somehow we've never felt dirtier. Guests Julian Zelizer of Boston University and Ken Walsh, Chief White House Correspondent for US News & World Report, join host Steve Gillon in discussing these and many other questions facing the nation. HISTORYCENTER airs Sunday, March 19th at 8:30am on The History Channel.
