Katrina vanden Heuvel, Nicolas Rossier and Jean-Bertrand Aristide
November 22, 2010"Average people must look at the screens and see the disconnect—it's not left vs. right, it's top-down. It's establishment vs. people." So says Katrina vanden Heuvel of the average TV news show. She joins us, of course, here on GRITtv for our weekly partnership with The Nation magazine to bring you a different kind of political TV show.Remembering Chalmers Johnson and Frank W. Lewis
November 22, 2010This weekend brought us two losses that will be felt throughout the Nation and GRITtv families.Chris Hedges: The Death of the Liberal Class
November 13, 2010"We have a choice," says Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Chris Hedges. "You can either be complicit in your own enslavement or you can lead a life that has some kind of integrity and meaning." Hedges argues for moral responsibility in a world bankrupt of it, and discusses the downfall of what he refers to as the liberal class in his newest book. From World War I to the present, he traces the rise and fall of liberal values, and paints a grim portrait of the future.Chris Hedges, (Astro)Turf Wars and Chloe Angyal

August 11, 2010U.S. militarism isn't limited to one president. "It is a pattern, it follows a trajectory, it derives from a set of habits and we need to understand them," Andrew Bacevich reminds us. This pattern has led us on a dramatically different course from the countries that experienced firsthand the wars of the 20th century--Bacevich notes that the U.S. and Israel seem to be convinced of the rightness of using force to accomplish goals.Vince Warren, Andrew Bacevich, and Philanthro-Feudalism
August 10, 2010President Obama was elected with fanfare and promises to restore the rule of law and accountability to the justice system, specifically around indefinite detentions at Guantanamo. But the upcoming trial of Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen taken into custody when he was just 15, seems to belie those promises.
