Progressives & Obama, Pundit Accountability, and Petraeus' Media Circus

During his second campaign for reelection, President Obama ran on a platform of decidedly progressive ideals, but will follow through with them and actually lead progressively? During the campaigns, many conservative pundits put their feet down, exclaiming a decisive victory for Romney. Now that it's clear that didn't happen, are they backtracking?, or taking responsibility? Lastly, the story of General David Petraeus' affair has filled the airwaves since it broke, pushing stories like the Occupy Movement helping with Hurricane Sandy Relief out of the media's attention. Are stories about sex scandals more important and interesting than others, and are they worth our attentions? Greg Proops (Comedian, Smartest Man in The World Podcast) lead this weeks panel to discuss these issues and more with Jimmy Dore (Comedian, The Jimmy Dore Show), Alyona Minkovski (Host, HuffPost Live), and Hugo Schwyzer (History and Gender Studies Professor, Pasadena City College). Special thanks to Matt Stoller (Progressive activist), for sending in a point.
