GRITtv: Dec. 23, 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? We discuss the year that was and the decade that was with a roundtable of our favorite guests, including Katrina vanden Heuvel ofThe Nation, Mark Green of Air America, Danny Schechter of News Dissector, Max Blumenthal, author of Republican Gomorrah, Maya Wiley of the Center for Social Inclusion, Faye Wattleton of the Center for the Advancement of Women, and Nancy Giles of CBS News Sunday Morning. We also have an interview with Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films on progressive organizing through media--what works, what doesn't, and where to go from here.
