Ikea Art Prank Goes Viral on The World for 2-24

 

An Ikea-sponsored prank shows the art world is just like Ikea wants you to think it is

FROM THE NEWSROOM:  Nick Blanford, the author of a military history of Hezbollah, will join us to talk about the Lebanon-based militant group's efforts to combat ISIS. Our own Aaron Schachter reports on the Iranian general who is making a name for himself in the fight against ISIS in Iraq.
