Arianna, thanks for joining us. >> Thank you. Good to be with you. >> What would you say has been the defining moment for you as a political figure? >> For me, there's a kind of aha moment when Trent Lott had to resign as majority leader because of-- and the persistence of some bloggers starting with Josh Marshall and stayed with and stayed with it and developed the story and edit new facts until the mainstream media had to pick it up again, leading to Trent Lott's resignation. That was pretty much a defining moment in terms of my understanding of a new power in the hands of average ordinary Americans and the power of-- and staying with the story of basically being OCD as opposed to ADD, you know, demonstrating obsessive compulsive disorder, which I love, and staying with the story. >> In your world, how do you combine spirituality with politics? >> That's a great question. I am-- First of all, my spirituality is very important to me. I'm-- >> Right. >> It's the way I bring balance to my life and I profoundly believe in god. I meditate. I'm-- I try to bring up my children with that belief that there is-- that we are not just material beings, that death is not the end. And this is some of the values that I bring to them to our living page. >> Conservatives complain that the media as a bias to the left. Do you believe this is true? >> The problem with the media is not that they are veering to their left or veering to their right, but that they are-- they have an addiction to presenting two sides to every issue, even when the truth lies on one side or the other. And that's why I describe them as the Pontius Pilate media. And just to give you a couple of examples, global warming. We've wasted years debating global warming with the media presenting, let's say, Al Gore or the equivalent discussing the dangers of global warming and on the other hand Senator James Inhofe or Michael Crichton telling us that global warming is a fraud. Now, these two positions are not of equal value. So, the media's responsibility has always been to ferret out the truth. And the truth is often on one side or the other and is not often to be found by splitting the difference. So, I think that the national debate would be greatly enhanced if journalists really follow their original mission, the highest mission of journalists, which is what is the truth especially after 7- 1 / 2 years when we have suffered from a contempt for facts, evidence, and the truth. It's very important to really put them at the center of everything we're doing. And after 7- 1 / 2 years of mission accomplished and heck of a job, brownie, insurgency and death rows, we're gonna be greeted as liberators. All those things which have turned out in retrospect to have been devoid of any connection to truth or facts. >> Uh- huh. What can liberal politicians learn from republican tactics? >> The most important thing liberal politicians can learn is to go after your opponent's strength. That is Karl Rove's great gift to the Republican Party. And if we translate that into practicality, what Barack Obama's campaign would do, and it would mean recognizing that John McCain's strength is the perception that he would be better for our national security and Barack Obama needs to grasp that. >> Rob Golden in Old Greenwich, Connecticut wants to know, who would you rather date, Bill Maher or Al Franken? >> You see this, there are things so old media. Why not date Bill Maher and Al Franken? ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"10 Questions for Arianna Huffington","description":"The political commentator and co-founder of the very successful web site, the Huffington Post, will now answer your questions","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/4SBHreXQ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2008-07-03T23:11:16.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/4SBHreXQ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/4SBHreXQ/","duration":"PT4M37S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/4SBHreXQ/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
