Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists discuss the loss of public trust in government reflected in the widespread response to the measles outbreak, the 2 million jobs added over the last three months and, as the leaders of Germany and France prepare to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the prospects for progress on Ukraine.

Scheer is joined by Josh Barro of The New York Times, moderating from the center, Tim Carney of The Washington Examiner on the right and Canadian parliamentarian Chrystia Freeland, also in the center.
