Time: '10 Questions' for Arianna Huffington [Excerpts]
- Mike Kovanda, DAVIS, IL: Conservatives complain that the media have a bias to the left. Do you believe that this is true?
- Huffington: The problem with the media is not that they're veering to the left or to the right but that they have an addiction to presenting two sides to every issue, even when the truth lies on one side or the other. I'd much rather we make our preferences and points of view transparent than pretend we don't have them.
- Kevin Judge, CHAPEL HILL, NC: What is the biggest story that the traditional media have completely ignored?
- Huffington: Here's an interesting thing about the traditional media: very often they break great stories, and then they ignore them. It takes the blogosphere to pursue the story, to do all the things that turn a story into a major event.
