just recently sold her website the huffington post to a.o.l. for three hundred fifteen million dollars and as part of that deal she gets to be in control of all efforts. real content for al well now for anyone who's ever been to her site well you can tell that it's left leaning or you can just plain call it lefty and in fact this site has been a voice for the left for years and home to numerous well known lefty bloggers but over the weekend arianna did an interview with the new york times well the first note it is quite obvious the new york times are not fans of each other when you read it first ari on his cue to bill keller and now we have this so andrew goldman of the new york times asked arianna he said you've been saying recently if the huffington post is not a lefty publication to which here's bonded actually i've been saying that for three years the tag line that we've used a lot is beyond left and right i'm sorry but just saying your web site goes beyond left and right doesn't make it true arianna have you looked acre site lately now the

"huffington post"'s arian that huffington has made her walk been by. russell simmons. and we saw earlier two actors. "glee"'s matthew morrison and from "modern family," jesse ferguson. one of the guests tonight that's causing a little bit of a stir here on the red carpet in the apt of questions will be donald trump. he's going to be hosted by "the washington post." a supposewoman for the "post" says they invited mr. trum will because he's a fascinating figure to washington. he'll be at the same table with house speaker john boehner. let's look for a couple of seconds at the red carpet and some of the folks filing in for the dinner. >> we'll be showing you clips from past dinners and comments on twitter and facebook. you can watch us live on c-span.org. it includes social media comments and live h.d. video. president obama talked about his administration's efforts to combat rising gas prices, including ending government oil industry subsidies and investing in renewable energy. and then we'll show you the republican address with james langford of oklahoma, who discusses

joining me now, huffington post reporter and msnbc analyst alex wagner. thanks for joining us tonight, alex. >> thanks for having me, lawrence. >> when was your birth announcement published? in what newspapers? >> it was actually announced with a flock of doves and a fleet of hot air balloons. my parents don't know anything about this newspaper thing. >> yeah. let's listen to what karl rove had to say about trump's use of the birther movement. >> this is a mistake. it will marginalize him. and he's fallen for barack obama's trap. barack obama wants republicans to fall into this trap because he knows it discredits us with the vast majority of the american people when we do. >> now, karl rove knows a little something about campaigning for republican presidential nominations. so if he's using his analysis based on the notion that trump is campaigning for the republican presidential nomination, he may be right that it's a bad trump is campaigning for higher for president. so this is the way to go, isn't it? >> for trump it is. but i think karl rove spaekds to

aol bought the huffington opposed. in the middle east, we saw how citizen journalists are reporting on the uprisings, and in papers like the "san francisco chronicle" are finding ways to collaborate with groups like spj's journalist of the year in northern california. his last three of this year's winners were new or nonprofit media, a ratio that would have been unthinkable just a decade ago when newspapers and large tv stations dominated the news media. to be sure, most of the hard work is still ahead of us. few new start-ups turn a profit. many community newsrooms' still rely on volunteer labor, and broader economic issues. we want to encourage the members of our audience here at the public library to drive this discussion. this is your chance to ask these experts what is happening to the news that you depend on to make your day to day decisions. our conversation tonight will include five elements -- we will talk about the quality of reporting available to the public and move on to what is being done to create sustai

. >> amazing what a little thing like aol buying the huffington post blog for $315 million will do to an industry. i've worked in the internet industry long enough to remember when the catchphrase "content is king" ruled, and then when everyone in the industry proclaimed that king to be dead. too expensive, too easily pirated and copied, too hard to monetize. now guess what? the king is dead. long live the king! see, the thing about content and internet businesses is this: sure, many businesses generate admirable revenue from services, off of data, on top of platforms. but an enormous amount of the internet is still content. it may be low-fi, it may be re- purposed, it may be inaccurate, it may be malicious. but it's still content. it's writing, it's photos, it's graphs and charts, it's videos and music, it's conversations and dialogue. so despite all the pessimism about content as the foundation for an internet business, well, aol bought a blog for $315 million. so the industry has come around again, again, and content isn't a dirty word anymore. look for i.p.o.s this year from a few

people right now for the huffington posts are getting something like $15. the market has really degraded from even their, and it is very difficult to make money doing that. i have friends who are doing it, who are writing 10 stories a day just to get by. at the same time, the proliferation does make it very difficult for one small site to exist, right? our strategy in the old days was to align ourselves with a big media company -- cbs. we align ourselves with yahoo! in some way and with ail -- aol in another way. you need the types of connections with more established or at least larger players in order to survive. the other reason is that the proliferation of sites has caused a change in the way people get their news. no longer do they just go to what we call destination sites, which was essentially a newspaper online. they are getting their news on facebook and google and bing and search engines. to be out there in that news sphere, you have to have different ways of attacking a and having connections and distribution arrangements. >> i would like to add

people right now for the huffington posts are getting something like $15.

you know one of the reasons why i'm here is because i wrote an article in the huffington post when this first came out and people were very upset oh my god how can we have bridge terry jones free speech but the truth is every single day we have bridge the free speech of so many people i mean janet jackson doesn't have the right to communicate her fashion opinions as it were at the super bowl when i was on air america we almost got thrown off of the chicago affiliate because no wiley the actor said the password you can't in television or in radio if you're in the united states even if you are a law abiding citizen you can't use the f. word or the s. word you cannot advertise out hard alcohol you can't advertise cigarettes you can't advertise pornography even though those might be expressions of one's you know opinions or sentiments or political views or anything like that so what i want people to understand and constitutional law it was my favorite subject in law school the first amendment is a wonderful thing but it is not absolute and there is a minute legal action provision in the uni

web site and yet she claims it or site is simply above the fray more on the war between arianna huffington and the new york times in tonight's told time segment just ahead and that obama is now running in two thousand and twelve he officially announced today that he's going to seek reelection so how is this campaign going to be different from his two thousand and eight but let's just say that there's a lot less of the hope and change and inspirational stuff will be right but. let's not forget that we are in the fourth party. i think. either one well. we're never going to be as liberal safe get ready to be completely free to go.

reason it's tantamount is because he was forewarned as i wrote in my column that appeared in the huffington post. general petraeus himself the commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan all but told him don't do this if you do this people will be killed including some of the peacekeepers and some of the troops that the united states now has in afghanistan so it would be impossible to look at this and say that the man didn't know that his actions could cause harm i think that argument if he plans to use it has already been taken away well speaking of the man iraq i you know you actually interviewed pastor terry jones for a segment on c.n.n. i want to play just a clip of that and then have you talk about your take on him and generally to you it's not sacred. it's sacred to them that's like saying i'm going to burn down your house because i don't like your house it's not my place to burn down toward hollering down a house and what we're also doing by the burning of the koran on nine eleven we're saying stop we're saying stop to islam stop to islamic law stop your caliphate all right so is this a

website and that she claims that are site is simply above the fray more of the war between arianna huffington and the new york times is a nice full time segment just ahead and obama is now running in twenty one of the officially announced today that he's going to seek reelection so how's this campaign going to be different from his two thousand and eight run to say that there's a lot less of the hope and change and inspirational stuff will be god. given we in the party. i think. either one well. we never got to keep him safe get ready for freedom.

and apparently "the huffington post" broke the story. kate middleton's dress.r. >> i've never heard of her. >> okay. >> i haven't a bloody clue. >> not a clue. apparently she was designer of the year at london's graduate fashion week and back in 1999, and she kind of honed her design skills under the late alexander the queen and kate wore her dress to a wedding couple of years ago and now apparently according to "the huffington post" the designer for the big wedding dress the 29th. the big secret is out and now i can sleep easy. >> kate is getting so thin, by the way. have you noticed that? extremely, extremely thin. and last but not least in the skinny, halle berry dropped out of a broadway play due to custody issues. this is the second project. she was supposed to be in a feature film. she can't do it, court appearances. her biggest priority is her daughter. and apparently getting ugly here with the ex. we'll keep you posted. >> always with her relationships. best of luck. call me if you need anything. always there for you. >> rob is right there for you. rela

the "huffington post." last thursday or friday, rupert murdoch announced that they did it was going to appear on the ipad, and i've had only daily newspaper. a few months ago the "daily beast" absorbed "newsweek," or was it the other way around? we've seen a situation where there's no original content that occurs only online. i mentioned to sources, the fiscal times for those of you want to follow fiscal issues, and those who want to follow new york issues, a website called the city pragmatist. something exciting is happening. one of the good things is happened has been the webpage of "the new york times." had a very rocky start and it's caught its stride in the last six to eight months, a lot of good content. the title of tonight's discussion, the "new york times" good for democracy? a better question would've been on balance is "the new york times" good for democracy. into the question we can give yes, but, and no, but answers with variations in doing. let me introduce our two speakers, michael tomasky is

as a result of two publications in the huffington post and boston university which is my alma mater there were several articles about "the flipside of feminism" and several thousand responses from a angry women. who were clearly raised by baby boomers. my mother raised me not to depend on anybody but myself and that is hard to do but my happiness depends on it. if suzanne venker and phyhllis schafly had any sense they would be grateful that they have college education. were it not for feminists, suzanne venker would never have gone to college and in a published author. obviously it is ok for women to have a career as long as it involves putting women down and putting them in their place, at home, barefoot and pregnant and submissive when every man is present. that is what i tried to do in "the flipside of feminism". women after all this time are equally educated and equally experienced to male character parts. we are penalized for having a woman. my favorite one, feminism saved us from the horrors of the role women were expected to play in the early half of the 20th century. anyone who de

i thought i'd read comments that were made online as a result of two publications, one in the "huffington post" and one in "boston university today" which is my alma mater. there were several articles about the flipside of feminism and several thousand responses from some angry women. who were clearly raised by baby boomers. >> my mother raised me not to dependent on anyone but myself. it's hard to do. but my happiness dependents on it. >> if they have any sense, they would thank the movement for making it possible for them to have college educations. were it not for feminist before suzanne's time she never would have been gone to college or been able to be a public's author. obviously, it's okay for women to have a career, as long as the career involves putting women down and putting them in their place, i.e. at home barefoot and pregnant and submissive whenever a man is present. that is what i try to do on the flipside. women still earn less money and equally educated, equality experienced male counterparts. we are penalized for having a womb. and my favorite one, feminism saved up from
