when thinking about leadership, it's instructive to look at "time" magazine's nominees for person of the year 2012. "time" does this every year. you guys get to vote but really the editors decide. some of the magazine's nominees this year are very interesting. sandra fluke up. dennis miller has some thoughts on her. i will step aside until he gets here in a few moments. rapper jay-z has been nominated. why on earth would he be the person of the year? ditto jon stewart and stephen colbert. stewart is great. he is a tremendous talent but why would he be person of the year. joe biden is on the list. for what reason? what has the vice president done? new jersey governor chris christie is there. okay you could make a case he handled sandy well but what else? our pal carl rove on the person of the year list. why? also cy on the list. we dealt with him yesterday. you know what? i'm voting for cia. he is my guy. i want him to be person of the year because that would send "time" magazine a message stop screwing around. if barack obama doesn't win person of the year i will be surprised. yes "ti

and brad gilman, editor-at-large for "time" magazine. he wrote the cover story entitled "the petraeus affair." there's a whole lot of hearings on benghazi which, of course, all will sort of bleed into the petraeus affair. give us the lineup today and what you expect to hear? >> you're right, chuck. there is so much overlap, what we've heard from someone planning the committee meeting, intel, for both the house and senate side, they wanted to separate those matters of personal and security concerns to the issue that brought it to the table in the first place. originally asking petraeus to testify when he was cia director and that was the benghazi matter. so the officials are here from the top people of intelligence, the director of national intelligence, cia and fbi, and they're trying to piece together really some inside information that members of congress have said they've been unable to get about the time line. who knew what, when. why when ambassador stevens had requested security, had talked about concerns he had, about the potentia

"time magazine" chose not to go the traditional route.eekly published two opinion pieces. each making the case for one of the candidates. also, printed three front covers this week. yes. you can pick up three. one focuses on the superstorm. the other illustrates the presidential race. you can see it here. michael crowley is time's deputy chief -- washington bureau chief and, michael, first of all, it's really interesting. it's very unique. we've seen a lot of mups and magazines go one way or the other. why did "time" decide to go this route with basically two endorsements? >> well, look, you know, voters have been bombarded in the closing weeks of this campaign with negative ads, you know, big bird, benghazi, issues that may be important but are narrow, so here's an opportunity to zoom back, go back to first principles, what are the cases for the two candidates fundamentally, and i think it's really useful to zoom out and get the big picture take on, you know, pro and con. we've been nibbled to death with these little bite sized attacks.

"time" magazine even used a photo for the cover story.one billion dollars. instagram co-founder and ceo kevin systrom is here. welcome. >> thank you so much for having me. >> just in case there's somebody on the planet who doesn't know what it is that instagram does, tell them. >> instagram is a fast and beautiful way of sharing photos on a mobile phone. you share photos with your friends instantly and make them look beautiful. >> how did you have the idea? how did it come about? >> the instagram history really spans from my childhood until now, which is that i used to love taking photos with instant cameras. by taking instant photography and taking it to the digital age, we put the power of instant photography in your hand. >> and you now have more than a hundred million users, right? >> it's a lot. a hundred million users all using instagram to share the world as it happens. and that's what i think is most powerful about what we're doing. you take a photo, share it, and have it anywhere in the world within seconds. >> when you make this

here's the website from "time" magazine. your two options there are pretty extreme.an vote definitely or no way. cnbc's bertha coombs does point out being person of the year can be a curse. amazon.com's stocks stalled after jeff bazel got the cover years ago. mayer has been ceo at yahoo! for four months now. yesterday yahoo! stock crossed $19 a share for the first time since 2010. nothing specific really driving that stock other than maybe an overall confidence in her leadership. that may be worth a few more dollars to the overall share price. the other stock to watch is facebook. facebook gained 8% monday after a leading analyst upgraded that stock. in an unrelated matter, facebook will reportedly consider revoking its system where facebook users get to vote yes or no on changes to their privacy policy. facebook has an unusual system where even the decision to revoke the user vote is put up for a vote by users. >>> a number of companies are handing out early christmas gifts in the form of dividends. why? because of the potential tax hikes ahead. right now a dividend

the "time" magazine is more of a feature magazine in some ways. "newsweek" has always seemed to be more competitive and better on breaking news stories. they're very, very good in that regard. and lately they've been doing much more feature work that has been highly noted and regarded. >> why would you -- why do you work for "newsweek" today instead of "time"? >> oh, it's simply economics, really. i was with "time" for 12 years. eight of those were a contract photographer in washington. it was a great job. i really enjoyed it. and a new person came to "newsweek" in 1985, and she approached me for a staff job at "newsweek" rather than a contract job, and it seemed like a great opportunity, and i knew her very well, and it seemed like a fun thing to do. so i became a staff photographer at "newsweek." >> what's this picture? >> this is the famous balloon drop, as they call it. at every political campaign event -- and this really started before reagan. but what reagan would give a speech at an outdoor rally or even invied, always people remember ballo

but one list maker that always makes my list is "time" magazine. this year once again i'm a contender on their person of the year list. (cheers and applause) now in previous years i have competed for time's attention with my korean pop nemesis rain. rraaiinnnn! is not on the list this year. personally i blame the drought. so this year i am a shoe-in to take it as long as there isn't a huge k pop star with killer dance moves capturing america's heart. >> gangnam style. >> stephen: ppssyyyyyj! he dares to be on the list ahead of me. oh, i will crush you and the invisible horse you rode in on. (laughter) besides, right now i am at number five which you will recall this year is number one. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: so i am already kind of winning. now of course i'm also making listory with my new book, america again, rebecoming the greatness we never weren't. boom! thanks to you, nation, we have been on "the new york times" best-seller list for eight years in a row. bam lam! but here's the thing. we peaked at number three. and every week since i

as a result of this policy. >> sean: believe it or not, those are the words of somebody that "time" magazineeard it right. the failing magazine is now elevating former georgetown law student sandra fluke to the same level as winston churchill, pope john ii, and more. here to explain how advocating for publicly-funded birth control qualifies fluke as the person of the year. good to see you. thanks for being with us. >> great to be here. >> sean: marjorie, it's $9 a month at wal-mart to get birth control pills. you can get all the condoms you want. in new york city, at a bar, they're free. just take a handful on your way out. planned parenthood, too. do you think she should be woman of the year? >> the reason that sandra fluke represents what woman or person of the year should be about is she took a national stage, not knowing she was was, by the way, with dignity and grace, talked about a challenging issue, regardless of what you think about the issue, raked over the coals, called a prostitute and slut, but continued to have a global conversation with civility. >> sean: wait a minute. the fou

brian walsh, a senior writer for "time" magazine.story on how to timeproof a city and jeff is the director of columbia university's earth institute. jeff, to what extent can we link climate change to hurricane sandy? what would be the fairest way to describe it? >> one thing we can start with is the ocean level has risen and the earn seaboard by almost a foot during the past century, and that means that storm surges are all the more extreme. the flooding was made worse by that and the sea level keeps rising and it keeps rising because of the glaciers melting and the ice thinning and the risk of massive increase of ocean levels are very, very real. so that's one very clear part of human-induced long-term climate change during the past century. whether the particular storm, this extraordinary storm, a tropical storm hooking up to this arctic storm and creating such damage on a long swath, that the hurricanol hurricanolo thifrp thinking about it. >> clearly not. they're not tinking of how to stop it hour to be adaptive. we've not ben do

look, it's clear that for time magazine they said it's ace politics for the democrats, if the obama administration nominates here and see her support there and the tact that they'll take at sort of a mass political level. at the elite level. i think the administration is doing a pretty good job of saying, well, actually the talking points were massaged by james clapper and by the justice department and a lot of fingerprints there and david petraeus came along and said there are reasons why they took out the al-qaeda stuff from the talking points that rice delivered on the air and i think that argument among the elites is kind of prevailing and i think that it means that if the president does appoint-- i think the confirmation goes quickly. >> not everybody agrees though. maure maureen dowd rights when a gang shows up with rpg's in a place of hot bed sympathizer and extremist training camps. >> it's not over a movie. she should have been savvy enough to wonder why the wily hillary was avoiding the talk shows. and the dop diplomate needs to show more sensitivity and independence traits clinton has d

tavis: paul tough is a contributor for the new york times magazine, published a book on education this year, how children succeed, the hidden power of character. good have you back and congratulations on your success. can i pick apart the title? how children succeed, i get it. the hidden power of character, it seems to me that the way the kids learn is to be encouraged to try and to fail. try again, fail again, fail better. it is a wonderful quote from beckett but parents don't want their kids to fail. they are trying to get into competitive schools, but how do learned when nobody encourages you to try and fail? >> i think it means that we need to change things in lots of different venues. we also need to start that change at home. the message to parents is that if you don't give them the opportunity to fail, to fail productively and creatively, they're going to get out there in the world and they will hit some kind of setback. that is the problems of many kids are having, if they have not had that opportunity and if they have been protected from failure, they really get thrown off. >>

coincidence that vice president dick cheney's old company got a huge contract to help rebuild iraq time magazine's that is gotten a hold of a pentagon e-mail saying cheney's office coordinated how important a multi-billion dollar deal all the revelations came out about halliburton getting all these fancy no bid contracts there was not a single hearing in the congress house or senate about the mysterious bidding processes around iraq and halliburton. that's ridiculous the oversight responsibility belongs to the united states congress it belongs here and it's not happening here the senate should spend a little less. advertising allegations of wrongdoing and spend more time talking about what is going on right if anybody believes that the contracts handed to how a bird for iraq were. you know he did the morally equivalent of insider trading and you know i've got an ocean in the middle of kansas and i'd like to take you surf and it's just phenomenal i mean course they were insider deals of course it was payback for old old friends and political supporters and campaign contributors they're very strateg

this is the latest "time" magazine. this is an article in this week's issue that wonders why stocks are dead. why didn't they put it on the cover? that would have been the perfect contrary indicator. they ponder whether stocks are dead. >> to be fair, i mean, bill gross came on the show. you and i talked to him. we talked about this issue. he basically said it's not that stocks are dead but that the mentality of stocks, the mentality of owning stocks for the long term by the retail investor is dead. >> and this may be why they're not dead. >> the contrary issue. >> exactly. so thank you, "time" magazine, on behalf of the market bulls out there. we'll take a break and come back with the closing countdown. the dow down just 16. >> after the bell, we're going to investigate what bernanke said today with famed fed critic jim grant. he says the policies are a much bigger threat to the economy than the fiscal cliff. he explains later on the cloesz close. you're watching the "closing bell" on cnbc, first in business worldwide.

"time" magazine reports but petraeus was strongly against it. is it "time" is also reporting on the internal fbi struggle over whether to tell the white house what and whom they were investigating. it turns out the white house wasn't informed till the night of the election. three days before general petraeus resigned. on a personal level, general petraeus is telling aides and confidantes that he is devastated by the pain and suffering that he has caused. and that brings me to another piece of reporting that you need to hear for yourself. my hln colleague kyra phillips who has reported extensively on general petraeus over the years has spoken directly with him in the wake of this ruinous scandal and while he did not want to be recorded in his conversation with kyra, kyra did talk about their conversations this morning in an interview with hln's robin meade. have a listen to this. >> if of in our first conversation, had he told me he had engaged in something dishonorable, and he sought to do the honorable thing in response and that was to come for
