one example is the huffington post. celebrities contribute to the 9 news outlet and readers love it. we spoke to ceo jimmy maiman about traditional media in the digital age. >> there are a lot of smart people in the traditional media, but for a long time, they had hope that the decline would stop. now they realized it's not going to stop and the future is actually an on-line future, so now they really have to think carefully about how they transition their business fuelly into on line, many of them are on line, but they haven't really done it with their heart. it's not just about taking a printed edition and putting it on line because there is no added value in that on-line experience, and therefore, people do not want to pay for it. >> about 500 reporters and editors work at the huffington post. in addition, it has more than 30,000 bloggers across the u.s. maiman says what he calls conversation to the readers has been key to its rapid growth. it's a new value that he thinks is essential to make an on-line news site a s

she's with "huffington post," huffingtonpost.com.ul shook things up with his filibuster on drones. he got the answer he wanted from eric holder. john brennan has been confirmed as a c.i.a. director. does the drones issue go away? >> you know, that's what i think is an interesting piece of that filibuster. some was good and some was not so good in terms of the outcome in the sense that it's rare a talking filibuster is successful. it is rare that the person actually gets, in this case, looking for a question to be answered. did they devote a lot of time to answering it? of course not. no one ever thought that the white house -- the president was going to personally call rand paul or the white house to get detailed explanation when they've been so secret about this program. at the same time the unfortunate part is it became partisan when it is not a partisan issue. so many times, you had rand paul talk about on the floor how this is not a partisan issue. it is a concern of both democrats and republicans. only senator ron wyden was will

senior adviser, steve schmidt, analyst and obama re-election campaign adviser robert gibbs and huffington post editorial director howard fineman. robert gibbs, this is your debut performance on the last word. we have a motto that's very republican. it is not what you say but how you say it. keep that in mind. >> i have to say that lead in provides an exceedingly low bar for which i can roll right over. you know, chairman priebus may have cued it perfectly. >> months later, he figured it out. >> might have spent less paper figuring out the two or three things they did right in 2012 rather than all of what they did wrong. i think they have a herculean task on their shoulders because it isn't about how you say it. obviously spending $10 million to do outreach with the same message will result in the same outcome. they have a huge problem in what they say, not in how they say it. and i think the biggest problem for the chairman of the rnc is he is not going to make any of these changes. as you mentioned, there's one policy recommendation. and there's a lot of change the color, change the logo reco

white in yesterday's "huffington post." good evening. >> good evening. >> john: what did you make of ms. white's performance in front of the senate banking committee? did anything she say surprise you? >> she did what you would expect her to do. she looked them in the eye and said she would enforce the regulations and get the regulations written. she would be enforcing the law without fear or favor. you wouldn't expect her to say anything else. what did surprise me was they only spent a little less than two hours investigating this nominee to one of our most important commissions which has been doing just abysmal job in terms of policing the banks and the financial committee. i was really surprised they didn't spend more time going through what needed to be done. >> john: when you say they, you're talking about democrats because we would assume our republican friends wouldn't be grilling her on that subject. >> everybody has a stake in financial communities but yes you would assume democrats would and democrats are the majo

back in the guest spot today is howard fineman, the editor director for the "huffington post" media group'll callett "huffington post." >> talk about shortening things. >> we were trying to come one a nickname for you howard fineman. >> then how fine. >> actually, al franken gave me that one but it hasn't stuck. >> we'll make it stick. >> that's because al franken was allowed to be funny. >> i'm curious about this paul ryan budget. the republican plan leading up to the election would be that the economy would cost obama his job, we'll get the senate and we'll be in place to implement the paul ryan budget. we'll have the votes and the momentum them lost the election, they lost ground in the senate and the house. and yet they are basically, they are proposing radical reduction in income taxes, voucherization of medicare, getting rid of obama care, although keeping the medicare cuts to help bring this to balance. i kind of wonder, what is the point of this thing if it has no chance of passing? >> you're right it has no chance of passing. you're right it is a carbon copy of what paul ryan was

this was posted on the "huffington post" website.u walking around and talking with other students? >> well, when i wrote in the article, i mentioned how a close friend of mine came out to me and confessed he was having feelings for a man. as i said in the article, i realized that it is kind of sad that he was so hesitant to share that. and i think that straight allies really need to come out more in support of their gay friends to show them that like, they be only have support in their own community but we're not all opposed to gay marriage and we're all there to help them out. >> how closely is the supreme court being watched at your university? >> it is not as big a deal as i would have thought it would be. you don't hear a lot of it. a lot of students aren't really aware of it. there are groups like the young democrats that are following it. >> do you believe they're not paying attention because it is one of those things as the poll indicated, 73% of those under 30 say they support same sex marriage. so is it, you hear people sayi

nonetheless, media think it's a big story and we should take it from jack ferguson, media editor at the huffington post, and said supreme court might, may be divided on gay marriage, but the media isn't. should be aren't, we're plural. and-- >> but the coverage, judy, seemed pretty one-sided and seemed to be pretty much pro gay marriage? >> i think it was pretty one-sided because i think that reflects public opinion and especially young public opinion. and it's a divide in which people see it's an issue and others see it as a basic civil human rights. if you're in the the latter camp, then you really can't have enough coverage of it. >> jon: well, but there are a lot of people who oppose gay marriage, witness them outside the supreme court. it doesn't seem that their views get a whole lot of coverage? >> well, i think that most the people in the media are, the way it breaks down in the polls, younger people send to be the ones more over welcomingly in support of gay marriage and media is populated by those on a younger scale. that's going to be the point of view. because there are so many people in the

we got the story out of the huffington post. >> what is on fire here? >> somebody's face is covered in some kind of substance and then an alcohol soaked towel is put on their face and you can see here they take some type of device, light it on fire and put it on the face and allegedly, i know there is no science behind this, the flames and the heat kind of ease the tension around your eyes, maybe get rid of some of those wrinkles. this started in china and the treatment for back issues. it is a few years old and as you can see the towel is lit on fire and the other one, i have to say, you don't stay on fire very long. it is finally extinguished when they put another towel on top of the flame. this is highly dangerous and the fact that people are subjecting themselves to this is beyond stupid, i think. >> age gracefully, rock your wrinkles, don't do this. >> aside from the fact they put flames on top of your eyeballs. >>> this guy almost hit that girl and she retaliates. >> doesn't even ask. fries with that? >> how she gets even next. that 16-year-old is

the "huffington post" also noted that she wasn't specific about what claim she is denying.s the door open some room if she wants to announce in may, she could. >> your article posted on national journal.com the headline, what ashley judd could learn from al franken. what could she learn from senator franken? >> so senator franken was known as a comedian, for a long time before he was interested in politics. when he wanted to run, he got in the race early. he worked really hard. he established connections in minnesota and he campaigned as a serious candidate. his celebrity was a liability at first but it also did provide him with some name recognition. so ashley judd, if she is able to establish herself as a serious candidate who is savvy on the issues, her celebrity won't be a liability the way it could be. >> we know that celebrities, ronald reagan, it's not unheard of to ascend to the presidency for goodness sake. in the case with ashley judd, is there another dynamic here? you have already some of the conservative groups coming after her being this flighty liberal? >> ye

we have 18 sections on the "the huffington post" dedicated to redefining success.hem less stress, more living. i think that's the big challenge of our time. and when women achieve that, it will be better for them and better for men as well. >> arianna, i've got to chime in here. actually during this program since we started discussing this i got an e-mail from a colleague in europe who says this makes me mad. the reality is so different to normal working women to these overachievers who clearly sacrifice their family life. two-thirds of my salary goes on child care. this is a female colleague based in europe. i'm curious, did you experience much much of held you back in your career? >> well, that's why we're talking about what can companies do. already many companies -- and not just google and other pioneers, but companies in middle america and around europe are prioritizing the health of their employees. they're offering meditation, yoga, de-stressing tools. and they realize when they do that, it's not just good for the health of their employees, it's good for the

"the huffington post"s is calling it fat shaming. >> first of all, i think kim kardashian is fabulouslyant. we put so much pressure on women to be fit. i have pressure when i know i am going to be here on saturday mornings, and it's terrible. it's okay to gain weight when you are pregnant. >> yeah, are you supposed to gain weight. >> we saw it with jessica simpson and jenny mccarthy, and when somebody is a bombshell gains weight when they are pregnant. >> people who write it, they are haters. >> and kim was on the to"the to show" s with jay leno, and let's listen and talk on the other side. >> you know, i think it's wrong. i mean, i have always been curvy, and i always embraced my curves and love them and now there is just more to love right now. you know, i -- >> what do you think of this? clearly the criticism has been harsh. >> it has. kim, you go, girl. i never said that in my entire life and i felt like saying that this morning. i am sleeping. and we should do media shaming, and we should do shaming in the media, who talk about people for gaining weight. we don't talk about women's

. >> everybody at the huffington post is half my age. chris: and our kids too. a lot of talk about gun control. there are huge divides on that issue. mayor michael bloomberg has clearly met resistance. he's spending millions of his billions to run ads where senators are caught on both sides of the fight. one of those senators have resented the bloomberg pressure, mark pryor. he said i don't take gun advice from the mayor of new york city. i listen to ar. -- ar kansas. st recently his ban was on sodas, and then cigarettes. so it's no surprise that plenty of americans in the midwest and the south think he's a big too big for his britches, ay an imperious someone who might remind you as the soup guy on "seinfeld." here's a picture of how scared they are of that guy. >> the main thing is to keep the line going. >> step to the left and receive to the right. >> it's very important not to embellish on your order, no questions, no compliments. >> i'm really scared. >> elaine?

quoting people to themselves and on live television, and in an article that you wrote for the huffington post, you actually quote a white house official who says, "there are a lot of republicans who probably don't know what we have put on the table. i don't know if the white house website isn't loading properly or if they're not reading the a.p., but if we need to sit down with these folks over a fancy sea bass to educate them about what we are offering, we are willing to do it." >> yeah. i mean, i think that's a really big concern within the administration is the fact that the plans that they put forward, including some reform changes like chain cpi and social security, medicare different payments in terms of -- no one knows about them, and ezra cline had a good post where he talked to an unnamed republican congressman about chain c.p.i., and the congressman said something like if only they would go there, we could get a deal. they went there. you know, it's funny in one respect, but it's also sort of sad and problematic in another that if you have to actually just start with educating them

with us the huffington post howard fineman. kelly o'donnell. first up, remember we were young and many of us were out on the streets and many of us said, don't trust anyone over 30? until this week when we witnessed the support for gay marriage we may not have seen the power of the 20-something. we know they voted for obama in far greater percentages. 32% more likely to go for obama than boomers than the over 65 crowd. maybe you don't know how big the divide is. as recently as the 2000 elections there was no age divide. it's about just how different this new generation coming at us right now from what we saw before. and get this, by the 2020 presidential election, get this, the under and 30 crowd some now still in elementary school will be 40% of the american elect tort. this is an enormous power of people, much more liberal on every issue we argue about on television.

place.some families are complaining they've received nra robo calls like this one posted on the huffington post ".you're state senator, art linares, will play a key role in determining whether the connecticut general assembly will pass legislation restricting your gun rights." >> reporter: and president obama is weighing in too. using his weekly radio address to push a ban on assault weapons, a limit on the size of ammunition magazines, and stepped up background checks. >> "they're supported by a majority of the american people. and i urge the senate and the house to give each of them a vote." >> the main reason the public is seeing so much activity right now. is that gun control measures appear to be in legislative trouble. senate majority leader harry reid has admitted, he does not have the votes for an assault weapons ban. and support for other legislation also appears shaky. there's nothing worse. headache, sore throat, fever and that achy feeling all over. officially, the flu season is winding down. unofficially, you can still catch the flu bug. trust me, i'm just getting over it. even now

here is what john mccain said to the huffington post. he called them what go birds. >> but there should not have been 80 party response issued a just and republican gerri: but these groups are urging disparate. >> did not that different if they were they would run under their own brand, they don't do that. we have to be united and cannot be sniping at each other. so fighting amongst ourselves hurts our ability. gerri: let me ask you this. the issue of the drums and the government using drowns on americans, how long did it take democrats to say this is our issue? because it was proposed by this administration they were reluctant to criticize. is george to be bush would be an issue much earlier. >> no question. the president could have instructed the attorney general to put out a statement this is not acceptable under the constitution. he manufactures a crisis then let them play out. gerri: it is fascinating the way this is caught fire. but grand ball motivates younger voters that the party ignores, shouldn't they put that to use? couldn't

jim clyburn told the huffington post he was absolutely shocked to hear scalia say that a key piece protects racial entitlements. the high court heard oral arguments last week on striking down part of the act that requires the justice department to approve any voting changes in certain jurisdictions. what scalia was basically saying and i'm quoting him here, the 15th amendment of the constitution ain't got no concerns for me because i'm white and proud. >>> now it seems he's getting the cold shoulder. christie was not invited to the conservative political action conference set for later this month. the powerful group's leader says it's because christie backed a temporary expansion of medicaid and the $60 billion hurricane sandy relief bill. peter king says the group is ignoring christie's record. >> that's a suicidal death wish. cpac to me loses all credibility. you have a governor who was conservative, balanced the budget, taken on republican employee unions, pro-life and a 74% favorable rating in a democratic blue state. chris christie is doing the job but they say because he fought for th

wasn't actually a result of the criticism his paper suffered in the article in a statement from huffington post he said quote the notion that we were somehow seeking to protect the post or the media at large by not running mr mitchell's piece is misinformed we were well aware of his critical perspectives on the media's role in the iraq war given his book and frequent writings on the subject so if the paper was already aware of mr mitchell's perspective why did commission the op ed in the first place just for some food for thought on this monday afternoon. on to cuba now where the united states southern command is asking the government for forty nine million dollars to construct another prison building in the guantanamo bay detention facility for so-called special detainees that's on top of the money officials are already asking for for innovations to the facility bringing the overall requested budget to one hundred ninety five point seven million dollars meanwhile the guantanamo bay hunger strike is interim its seventh week with no end in sight reported one hundred thirty one inmates are refusi
