Year in Review: Looking Back at 2009 and the 00's
December 31, 2009
It's the end of 2009. We're still in two wars, Guantanamo is not yet closed, and the jobless numbers are still sky-high. What happened to all the optimism we started the year with? There have been bright spots and not-so-bright spots, nasty political fights and moments of progress.
Year In Review: What Does Hope Mean Now?
December 31, 2009
Hope. It was the word for the Obama campaign, epitomized by the famous Shepard Fairey poster, with eyes uplifted, bright primary colors declaring that Americans believed in something good again.
The 00's, The Uh-Ohs, The Ought-Nots--The Worst Decade?
December 24, 2009
Maybe it's not technically the end of a decade. But with the switch from Bush to Obama, it seems as good a time as any to look back at the 2000's--whatever you call them. Whether Time is right that it was the worst decade ever, or that's a bit of an exaggeration, progressives can't argue that a lot happened in the past ten years, and a lot of it was depressing.

LIVE AT 12:30: Year In Review/Decade In Review
December 23, 2009
The year is almost over, and it's certainly been an eventful one. We've seen a new president, some huge bank bailouts, a dramatic election season and we're closer than we've ever been to national health care reform--whether that's a good thing or not.
Tiger, Obama, Unemployment, Oh My!
December 11, 2009
We have a panel of journalists joining us in the studio to discuss the way the media did--and didn't--cover the biggest news of the day. Joseph Huff-Hannon, independent journalist and Nation contributor, Rana Foroohar, senior editor at Newsweek, and Lionel of Air America critique coverage of Copenhagen, Obama, health care, the economy, and yes, even Tiger Woods.
Media Panel, Garbage Dreams and Cartoons in Conflict
December 10, 2009
Obama headed overseas this week, to the Copenhagen climate talks. Today, though, he made a stop in Oslo to accept his Nobel Peace Prize. It's also Human Rights Day, but you might be excused for not having heard that--the media seems more concerned with Tiger Woods' sex life.
Week in Review: Hope: After a Year, What Does It Mean?
November 7, 2009
Last year on election day, we discussed the election and the future of America; hoping for an Obama victory and with it some restoration of the things we'd lost under Bush. This year, we look back with some of our guests from that day on what they said then and what they think now.
Week in Review: One Year Later, Still Politics as Usual?
November 7, 2009
Election 2009 was a disappointment for progressives, who saw Democrats lose key races and Maine overturn the right of same-sex couples to marry. Just one year earlier, we were celebrating the election of Obama. What's the connection?On Wednesday, we ran a full hour live, discussing the elections. Our panel agreed on one thing: Democrats neglected the base that the Obama campaign worked so hard to build up.
