BOB GARFIELD: Now, in your book you take a few shots at Fox News Channel and -- duh --  they are clearly the house organ of the right wing, and behave accordingly. The Huffington Post, for its part, often seems like the house organ for the Democratic Party, or at least some broad cross-section thereof. I actually just asked this same question of MSNBC, but how do you avoid becoming the Fox News of the left?
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: I actually think that we have completely avoided that, very simply by putting a high premium on accuracy, fact checking, fairness, posting things that are newsworthy, even though they may hurt someone that we clearly prefer -- at least I do --  in the case of Barack Obama, for example.
