of the huffington post and so i'm going to read a quote here from her she says i worry about it in the middle of the day as well as in the middle of the night one of the things that make me optimistic is so many millions more people do have a voice now so there's a countervailing force that is coalescing about real transformation not rhetorical want so that all sounds very nice and i think that she has a point in terms of we're finally hearing this become you know part of the rhetoric part of the discussion but she also kind of a part of the problem alone in this i think it kind of really highlights is a really good example of the difference between ideology and reality ariane huffington is at davos where the one of the themes is rethinking capitalism and transformations and capitalism that isn't serving society anymore she's asked about it saying there needs to be moral capitalism talking about how it keeps her up at night whether vested interest or get to get in a way of that this is an interview with chrystia freeland from. an area huffington writers boycotted the two unions led the

an area huffington writers boycotted the two unions led the charge of the national writers' union in the newspaper guild a lot of others joined did because she doesn't pay all over. readers there is a network of eight thousand unpaid bloggers who were upset over the fact that a oh well paid three hundred fifteen million dollars for huff post erin huffington is making out very well and that money isn't getting down to any of her workers and this is the kind of person that rallies the morning or all capital of them just how about your workers instead of making them you know report on the presidential elections for free when you just got bought by a well it's not you know the progressive nonprofit blog anymore. all right last thing to let me just talk about a few figures that came out basically telling us that consumer spending was a flat in december but we also saw wages rise a little bit but that also means of people aren't spending anymore and they're starting to save and so how do you look at that is on one hand it's probably not that bad of an idea for americans to start saving a l

joining me now, ariana huffington is the editor in chief and president of the huffington post media groupdavid frum is a contributing editor for the daily beast and "newsweek." steve rattner left a long career on wall street to be the obama administration's car czar. now he is back in business. and mort zuckerman is the chairman of boston properties and the editor in chief of "u.s. news and world report." welcome to you all. david, let me start with you. one of the things i've been puzzling over is, what happened to the tea party? this was the party that -- you know, this was meant to be the thing that was going to totally transform the republican party. and it doesn't quite seem to have that had effect. >> failed to generate an alternative to mitt romney and it's taking a bad humiliation because of it. i think a lot of the energy has gone out of it. especially in south carolina, here's something that i think is maybe relevant. the senator jim demint from south carolina has been a vocal advocate of the tea party. he's also been the leading opponent of dredging the harbor of charleston. it

smith: let me stand up for arianna huffington, and say, what, what i'm being provided by the huffington post is uh, a menu of things out there. i might have to go to 30 different places to get, now i'm able to go to one place. why is that bad? why is that parasitic? downie: right. uh, the question is whether or not you are producing original journalism of your own at the same time, and since i made that remark in london, it's not cause and effect it's just happenstance, they've been trying to do a lot more original journalism at the huffington post. they deserve credit for that. they've been hiring reporters. smith: right. downie: now, they still publish a lot of, you know, they still put up on their site lots of blogs that people provide free for them. smith: right. downie: and i still question whether that's a, a proper business model. smith: so the, one of the parasitic aspects of this is they're taking advantage of free labor. downie: exactly. smith: but my understanding was that your concern was more in the area. downie: but it also was aggregation too. smith: . taking five paragra

is important to "the huffington post" was -- "huffington post" but most important it's a key aspect for the future. the third thing is brands matter a lot and coming from silicon valley give no working in technology and doing that for the last 15 or 20 years, one of the reasons google was, i did not believe that everything was going to be user-generated and the rams aren't going to matter in the information space and i saw people retreating from some of the major brands around information and decreasing investments. i think brands are going to be more important in the future. i think brands are the way the people navigate their lives and the research that we have looked at recently points to the fact that the majority of users on the internet today use less than 30 sites and about 50% of people use around 10 to 14 sites. if you think about that from a macrostandpoint, as the internet is exploding people are starting to use brands to navigate where they give information and how they get information and i get this question from investors a lot. what is the big focus on brand and it seems

bought in collaboration with "the huffington post." yesterday we dissected the "b" in bought and the price we all pay not just through lack of investment in our country, but also through atm fees. today we are moving on to the "o" in oil. it's about the energy sector and finding power in money by breaching the integrity of our free market and preying on fear. whether it's through the subsidy process or the transfer of environmental damage for a country that proclaims a desire for free markets, i can't think of a product that has a more rigged price. >> they are coming at it from both ways. they pay no cost for the incredible amount of pollution and damage they do to the environment. for the way they skew our national security policy. on the other hand, we're subsidizing them. they have managed to get congress not just to consider a carbon tax, but to actually consider rolling back some of the subsidies. rolling back the subsidies impossible as well. >> the united republic said the problem is a $1.9 trillion we're all spending. it's hal

thousand and eleven let's take a look at this from a different perspective a daily perspective to the huffington post is found through a freedom of information act requests that ice is responsible for holding thirty two thousand people in immigration detention without any charges on a single day and that was october third of two thousand and eleven now amongst those who were arrested forty percent were convicted of any crime nor awaiting a trial the rest were there for low level offenses like duis or minor drug charges and only a few of them were actually accused of violent crimes to having imposed does make a good point here that being an undocumented immigrant is on its head a civil offense and not a criminal one meant immediately with the punishment of spending time behind bars so why are so many of these immigrants actually ending up in jail we see it all comes down to money private prisons that make a killing off of undocumented immigrants because they can hold them in their prisons allowing the detention centers to meet their financial goals and a statement of as you see the corrections co

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

john heilemann, nbc news' andrea mitchell, the "washington post"'s nia-malika henderson and "the huffington post"'s howard fineman. if mitt romney wins in new hampshire, this would be the first time a republican has ever won the first two, iowa and new hampshire. but he still can't win those who call themselves very conservative. just 14% of them voted for him in iowa. that enthusiasm gap is a young problem for republicans this fall. they're asking themselves what would it look like if the republican convention come tampa time with the more moderate romney accepting the nomination? would republicans by rallying around him or dying inside? howard, that's the question. what would it feel like for a mostly tea party, conservative republican party, angry at obime with all kinds of attitude and gut feeling to put a guy like mitt romney on the stage who's so cool and unseemingly conservative? >> first of all, never would victory seem more boring. second, a lot of diplomacy would take place before the convention. if mitt romney wraps this up fairly early you'll be seeing diplomatic missions to the

i'm joined tonight by roger simon, chief political columnist for politico, and jennifer donahue, huffingtonost contributor and fellow at the eisenhower institute at gettysburg college. great to have both of you with us tonight on the program from new hampshire. you know, new hampshire really is a tough one for santorum. but does he have the potential to do well here? i guess it's all about mojo at this point. jennifer, what do you think? you know that part of the country as well as anybody. do you think that the social conservatives and the catholic endorsement is going to take him into double digits before next tuesday? >> at this point i'd be surprised if he didn't get into double digits. he's had events here all day. he did especially well at the tilton diner, which was a pure retail event, where he was hand holding and talking to people and looking in their eyes. they were kicking the tires, trying to get to know him. but 60% of new hampshire is catholic. and i think that a lot of people in new hampshire have really continued to feel anybody but romney. and these are the early primary v

it was picked up in "the huffington post." just to quickly highlight some of the milestones we emphasized in the community are reached this year, we mentioned archaeology, the completion of the above grade demolition work, the extensive utility relocation that was completed in 2011. and we also had an event with the mayor. we also talked about the progress made on the transit center. in 2012 we will continue all of our our reach to our neighbors. we want them to be aware of things like subterranean the demolition work that will continue that will create vibrations. we want neighbors to know that is coming. we will continue our monthly at reach meetings, citizen advisory meetings. we will continue to work on our media out reach. we take very seriously their responsibility that we have to educate the public about everything the new transit center will be, the fact that it will be a national model for transit-oriented development. the ability to bring an amtrak eventually, bringing in high- speed rail when it is ready. and the bu
