Crossfire aired nightly before a live studio audience from George Washington University's Jack Morton Auditorium in Washington, D.C. In 2002, Crossfire celebrated its 20th anniversary. Carlson left Crossfire in January 6, 2005 and the show was canceled on June 3, 2005.</p> <p>Carlson is also a political analyst for CNN, based in the network's Washington, D.C., bureau. Before The Situation, Unfiltered and Crossfire, Carlson was co-host of CNN's Spin Room.</p> <p>Carlson currently hosts The Situation with Tucker Carlson, a light hearted news-themed show on MSNBC. On The Situation a stream of recent headlines are brought before Carlson and his two panelists, each of who reside on opposite ends of the political spectrum. This leads to fast paced, thought provoking discussions although far from comprehensive.</p> <p>Since 1997, he has appeared weekly on Inside Politics with Judy Woodruff, the nation's first program devoted exclusively to politics.</p> <p>Formerly a staff writer at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, Carlson is a contributor to New York Magazine and The Weekly Standard, as well as a columnist for Readers Digest.

US foreign policy is in shambles, the economy is teetering on the edge of collapse, and millions of Americans cannot afford healthcare. The Democratic and Republican conventions have given voters an opportunity to express their discontent: witness the protests in Denver and St. Paul. </p><p> Last night, in what may be his final major speech, Bush took a swipe at the &ldquo;angry Left,&rdquo; saying that if the Hanoi Hilton could not break McCain&rsquo;s resolve, &ldquo;you can be sure the angry Left never will.&rdquo; Given just how unpopular Bush is, the angry Left refers to nearly 80 percent of the population. Which raises the question, as the sun sets on George W. Bush, where should Democrats direct their anger and unrest? </p><p>At a moment of profound national insecurity Barack Obama&rsquo;s positions on healthcare, the environment, and foreign policy are not nearly as far reaching as many think they should be. But is now the time to push for a more sweeping progressive platform? Today at noon our live panel will take on the role of the Left and of progressive democrats in American politics. Chris Hedges, Elizabeth Holtzman, John MacArthur, and Judith LeBlanc join us for a live discussion. </p><p>Email your questions to laura@grittv.org. <br />Comment right here at <a href="http://lauraflanders.firedoglake.com/">www.grittv.org</a>. <br />And call in at 866-466-2961.</p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/51629-grittv-live-at-noon-the-angry-left-and-progressive-politics">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/51510-arianna-huffington-on-the-success-of-the-huffington-post 2008-09-07T02:46:35Z FORAtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tl-pvwF1dQE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tl-pvwF1dQE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/51510-arianna-huffington-on-the-success-of-the-huffington-post"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/62538" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Author, blogger and political commentator Arianna Huffington discusses the success of her blogging community website, the Huffington Post.

If you listen to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and John Edwards, they want to take America on a sharp leftward tack. I think they're inspired by the Europe of old, big government, big brother, big taxes. In my view that is the wrong way to go. The right way for America to proceed when we face the kinda of challenges we face is to pursue the strategy which Ronald Reagan pursued when we faced the challenges of the last century. He said the right path forward is to strengthen America. He strengthened our confidence in ourselves. He rebuilt the optimism that America had lost under Jimmy Carter. He strengthened our families and values. He also made sure that we could compete with anybody in the world. He brought our taxes down, a lot. That caused our economy to take off. And in turn allowed us to out-compete the Russians. And then of course, he strengthened our military. Facing the kind of military challenge that we faced then, he made sure that our military was second to none. And finally, the, the Soviets had to say 'enough already' and they threw in the towel. Now we face extraordinary challenges and the right course is to strengthen America again. And I would strengthen us in our homes and our schools but also our economy and military.</p> <p>LABEL: MR IA 12-14 (GR#16) ESA - Clip C</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/ls5cbkjglm">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/euf78gdagx">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/50421-mitt-romney-town-hall-12-14-07">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/50035-wandering-heart 2008-09-07T02:46:20Z Redameter <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6R3aLWi7VdA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6R3aLWi7VdA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/50035-wandering-heart"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/60760" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Angela Cummings was finally getting her life together again after being widowed and raising her ten year old son.

This event took place on July 22, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>More than half of America's processed grocery products -- from corn flakes to granola bars to diet drinks -- contain genetically altered ingredients. They are unlabeled and untested, and we are eating them. "Your Right to Know" is a complete, full-color reference guide outlining how unmarked genetically modified foods go from the factory to the family dining table, and what consumers can do about the health risks they present. This accessible guide is for concerned parents -- as well as anyone concerned about genetically altered foods -- who want to know more about the potential health risks, the organic alternatives, and the methods available to counter the corporate takeover of the food we eat.</p> <p>ANDREW KIMBRELL serves as the executive director of the Center for Food Safety and the International Center for Technology Assessment and has been involved in public interest legal activity for nearly 20 years. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Harpers, Utne Reader, and the Ecologist.

This event took place on June 9, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>In On Being Certain, neurologist Robert Burton challenges the notions of how we think about what we know. He shows that the feeling of certainty we have when we "know" something comes from sources beyond our control and knowledge. In fact, certainty is a mental sensation, rather than evidence of fact. Because this "feeling of knowing" seems like confirmation of knowledge, we tend to think of it as a product of reason. But an increasing body of evidence suggests that feelings such as certainty stem from primitive areas of the brain, and are independent of active, conscious reflection and reasoning. The feeling of knowing happens to us; we cannot make it happen.</p> <p>Robert Burton, M.D. graduated from Yale University and University of California at San Francisco medical school, where he also completed his neurology residency. At age 33, he was appointed chief of the Division of Neurology at Mt. Zion-UCSF Hospital, where he subsequently became Associate Chief of the Department of Neurosciences. His non-neurology writing career includes three critically acclaimed novels. He lives in Sausalito, California.
