Coming Up on “Meet The Press With Chuck Todd” 10/19/14: Ebola Summit

THIS SUNDAY: The “Meet the Press” summit on Ebola.  There is no epidemic in America, but there is an outbreak of hysteria.  What do we really know about the disease?  Plus: real questions about government accountability as pressure builds on Washington.  Will the president’s new czar make a difference? Does Congress share responsibility for the lack of preparedness?  And how are politicians playing on the public’s fear?
