tonight a conversation with the founder and president of the huffington media group, arianna huffingtonow the democrats have a tricky task of convincing people to reelect president obama despite economical problems. also we remember michael duncan, gone too soon at the age of 54. we are glad you joined us. >> there is a saying that dr. king had that said there is right thing. i try to live my life every day by doing the right thing. we know that we are only halfway to completely eliminating hunger and we have work to do. fighting hunger in the u.s. as we work together, we can stamp hunger out. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> please welcome arianna huffington back to this program. she is the founder of huffington opposed media group. she is also behind chateau convention, a nonpartisan alternative to the major conventions, focusing on poverty, influence of money and politics, and the war on drugs. she joins us from charlotte. good to have you on the program. let me start by asking in your views on what the republicans did in tampa last wee

. >> jon: and the huffington post called tt king's speech. and which convention was more of a party for the political press? >> the republican convention is over. ♪ the democratic convention done, too. which party's party had the press dancing in the aisles? and cheering for a win? and what can we expect from the media now? find out next on news watch. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle -- 8% every 10 years. wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle loss with exercise and ensure muscle health.

you can write something to the huffington post about this.s out. >> people running for president and filed their tax returns and let everybody look at them and mitt romney's can't do that because he's basically paid no taxes in the prior 12 years. >> the word's out that he hasn't paid taxes for ten years. let him prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't. >> in the release, mr. secretary. he paid an average rate of 27% and never less than 13%. >> wait a minute, wait, joe, joe, joe. >> did he release ten years of taxes today? >> so you think he's lying about -- >> i don't know. >> i have no idea. >> why didn't he release them? [ indiscernible ] >> when is harry reid going to apologize for this statement?ra >> i want you to write something for "the huffington post," the worst thing about embodying -- >> what does senator reid embody. i much rather write something for the washington joupage. [ indiscernible ] >> i think you made the slur against romney today. this is a guy who is a job creator and we need more of those. >> all right, guys.

when he left the huffington post, he started working on it full time. ever since january, we have been sort of revamping it into more of a news site. >> did you graduate from ohio state? >> i went to ohio university originally. >> you graduated from st. john's? >> i did not graduate, i am still taking classes online. when they hired me, i was still in school. i started taking on more work and i've been doing online classes and finishing my degree. >> why did you leave school? >> i think there is importance to it. people really like what i do. people love the old clips of the politicians. there is a lot of time that you break something in the news cycle that people did not know. i found this clip of mitt romney in 2010 when he was arguing for an individual mandate. look at what we did in massachusetts. people did not know that. at the time, that took over the news cycle. rick santorum was using it in the republican primary. >> we have followed you because you've gotten a lot of publicity over the last year. i want to run one of the profiles that was done

post and editor-in-chief of the huffington post media group, arianna huffington. national editor for "vanity fair." jobs launched today. >> talking about the convention first, how are the democrats staging this compared to the republicans? >> they make the republicans in tampa look like amateur hour, it's just the energy, the engagement, michelle obama's speech, i looked through everything conservatives have written and i can't find a negative word which is pretty stunning, it's really the one moment of by partisanship is michelle obama's speech. of course now the question is going to be, how do they go from the personal to the political, that breach. even in michelle obama's speech, you realize that she talked about the soldiers who are coming home, and the man who lost his eyes in afghanistan and he would have given them 100 times over what he had down. to do what exactly. why do we stay in the emotional generaliti generalities. the minute you get down to why are we still in afghanistan. even deval said he's ending the war in afghanistan, but he's not ending it

according to the huffington post...he person responsibleefor the footage remain anonymous for to - "professional reasons and to avoid a lawsuit." that brings us to our question offthe day.do you think romney's comments will affect the outcome of the election? we'll take your calls in fox-baltimmre dot com and tell us what you think... sound off through facebook or send us a the baltimore city schools c-e-o is taking steps to re- evaluate test scores in the wake of allegations involving a cheating scandal.

let's cross live now to beirut and political show me no one is covering the middle east for the huffington post evening to the still energy of these protests from what we're seeing as well with hezbollah leaders stoking things by calling it the worst attack on islam ever without all in mind how long do we expect this current backlash to last do you think. why you know i hardly think it's the worst attack on islam or i mean if even if we've never heard of the crusades it's not even the worst attack in the twenty first century not i won't says by laws of course. right the war on terror probably is i mean people are reacting to this. but you know from my perspective it's just the straw that broke the camel's back there's plenty of history of u.s. relations in the area plenty of precedent for why people in this region and of pakistan elsewhere in the muslim world would react strongly to the u.s. is this just an excuse. like i said just the straw that broke the camel's back and the. focus for a minute on the violence who seem to folding in pakistan where does this leave america's reputation wit

books including new york times bestseller a return to love she's also the author of the recent huffington post article sister giant consciousness and politics mary and welcome thank you so much tom thanks for joining us in your huffington post piece you said that america needs to be having a new conversation what is that conversation. well right now economics is obviously the order i'm ordering principle of human civilization and humanitarian values should be the ordering organizing principle for human civilization and so we keep trying to change the deck chairs on the deck of the titanic when really if you look at the entire way we are living our lives on this planet we could be arguing that these that the ship is sinking so if we put moneyed interests short term economic gain for just a few people whether that's the way we're doing politics in the united states or even just the way we're ordering geopolitics on the planet then that leaves out the majority of people it creates an increasingly unsustainable dynamic that is something that i think millions of millions of people recognize mi

and she even he told the huffington "post" i can't understand why any woman would want to vote for mitt romney except maybe mrs. romney. is this a theme we'll be hearing, that he doesn't get it? >> absolutely. women are a big swing in the election. mitt romney's speech last week, he named essentially every woman he's ever been close to. his wife, he talked about miss chief of staff, he he talked about his lieutenant governor. condi rice. you can tell he knows he has ten point deficit with women and romney is really aggressively trying to close that. and the president's job tonight and the job of the dnc speakers is to make sure to remind people that the republicans' views on issues. pot just in terms of abortions and women's rights, but also women tend to be more liberal on education and taxes. and i think you'll hear michelle obama speak out on those issues, as well. it's not just a women's issue thing. just in general women are such a big bloc. white women the biggest swing group. and that's who this convention is targeting. >> perry, shira, stay with me. i want to bring in dan jones,

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

with me is peter goodman, executive business editor of the huffington post and allison kill kenny coe host of -- civil rights advocate and jim frederick, editor of "time" magazine who wrote the story, cover story of the agents of outrage. thank you all for being here. >> good to be here. >> i want to start with you, jim. because my primary feeling was that this was a complicated moment. a difficult moment. americans dead in a foreign country on their mission for their country. it somehow became about politics instead of about any of those issues. >> yeah. i think it's pretty clear that romney didn't do himself any favor and knocked the national conversation off track. i think the thing we need to look at is not so much this round of protests. this round of protests is going to blow over. i think what we need to look at are the protests next time and the time after that. because we're seeing a real political shift in the middle east where historically you would have these dictators who would put these types of protests down by stepping on people's next. >> right. >> now you have a new

clips were posted mooday afternoon on "mother jones" and "the huffington post."they show omney shooting from the hip on a range of iisues.as andrew spencer explains... "off the cuff" and "not sticks by theemain message. in one clip, mitt romney jokes abouu wishing his father's been born of, uh, mexican parents, i'd have a better shot at winning this. but he was unfortunatellyborn to americans llving in mexico and hh had lived there for a number of years. i mean i say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be latino.and he goes off on obama supporters. there are 47% who are with him, who are dependdnt on government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to are for themmthe obama campaign issued a response, saying of a romney presidency, quote - "...it's hard to serve as president for all americans when you've disdaiifullyywritten offfhalf the nation."in a news conference late monday night, romney said he could have spoken "more clearly" -- but said he was trying to oint outtthe differences between the two campaigns.w

secondly, i think when he -- we wrote about this in the "huffington post." when barack obama came into office it was with the idea you could change the way politics operated. instantaneo instantaneously, largely because of the economic crisis he inherited, he had to be an operative inside the political system, play an inside game, get a stimulus passed. when they were crafting health care, they had to cut deals or thought they had to cut deals. i think what changed everything is the debt ceiling deal. they tried to negotiate something there. it blew up in their faces. they said, you know what, rather than catering to the political realities, we have to shape the political realities. it hasn't necessarily been successful. the jobs bill still stalled. they got the bpayroll tax cut. it's a different type of politics than we saw in the first years and it's carried over into this election. >> alex, isn't this to some extent a question of language and tone? actually, over the last couple years much more so barack obama since the debt ceiling crisis has taken on th

it's from the "huffington post" today. a republican operative working on congressional races, quote, warned that in key swing states, mitt romney's support and internal polling is well below that of republican candidates in districts where the presidential nominee needs to get big support to have a chance at winning. this is the quote from the republican operative. "he is just well under all of our other guys," this republican said, "i'm very concerned." think about what that means for a second. what they're talking about here is key districts in key swing states. ones where mitt romney really needs to win big in order to win that swing state. and mr. romney is underperforming the other republicans who are going to be on the ballot in those areas. these are the places where mr. romney needs to do great. and in the internal republican polling in those places, he is doing awful. and that speaks very poorly of his chances of carrying those swing states. but more ominously, for the republican party, it means that the lower lev

. >>> there it is the front page of the "huffington post" saying it all," bill kills."e used plain spoken language to kill off arguments that romney would be better to revive our troubled economy. >> republican argument against the president re-election was actually pretty simple. pretty snappy. it went something like this. we left him a total mess. he hadn't cleaned it up fast enough so fire him and put us back in. he inherited a deeply damaged economy. he put a floor under the crash. he began the long hard road to recovery. >> joining me now is the ref represented al sharpton host of msnbc's "politics nation." great to see enthusiast morning. bill clinton defend president obama in the third longest speech of his career. the president literally rearranging his own schedule so he can embrace bill clinton on the stage that all-important moment at the end where they hugged. how far have they come since 2008 and how badly did president obama need moderate americans to hear bill clinton last night? >> i think they've come a long way and i think that's good not only for the

. >> jennifer: larry i have to ask you, because according to the "huffington post" about 650,000 now government jobs have been lost since 2009. you represent 140,000 public-sector jobs at the state and local levels do you think the public-sector job losses have bottomed out? >> i think they have not bottomed out. it's connected to tax policy connected to these austerity budgets at the federal and state level, and we have a choice to make, just as we do in the election, between austerity and growth. and i think people across america whether they are public or private sector want to choose growth and austerity breeds more austerity. you need stimulus in this economy, and job cuts are the opposite of the growth and the american dream that we all want. >> jennifer: it is interesting because we have had austerity at the government level and it means the reduction in unemployment which is what everybody is striving for -- the government sector is at its lowest numbers in the past what? 30 years? >> and it's not just the numbers. it's all the role the government plays in a economy to stimul
