Arianna Huffington welcomes Tucker and the Daily Caller team to the Digital Neighborhood

Arianna

Like Tucker, I read the Huffington Post every day. I also have had several of my Citizen Reports published on Huff Po and I completely agree with Ms. Huffington that we need to step out of the left/right paradigm of the Main Stream Media.

“First of all, Iโ€™d like to welcome Tucker and The Daily Caller team to the digital neighborhood.

Predictably, your site has been positioned in the media as โ€œthe conservative answer to The Huffington Post,โ€ just as, when we launched, we were positioned as โ€œthe progressive answer to Drudge.โ€

When you asked me to write something for your opening day, I was particularly glad to do it โ€” and not just because you told the Wall Street Journal you read HuffPost every day. But because Iโ€™d read that you are โ€œtrying to think through what comes next in journalism.โ€ As you are thinking that through, I hope youโ€™ll keep in mind that one of the greatest contributions the digital media can make is to counter the traditional mediaโ€™s obsession with looking at every issue through the cobweb-covered lens of right vs. left.”
