Went to see Arianna Huffington speak at Ithaca College here tonight. Kudos to the Park Foundation and others for sponsoring it. She talked and entertained simultaneously but discussed getting the truth out and ignoring left to right issues. I agree. Afterwords, I had a chance to meet her and say hello.
I gave her an envelope with a flyer and a request for Huffington Post coverage inside. I introduced myself and then walked away letting others get photo ops. I talked to a couple friends outside in the lobby and then gathered the courage to go back and pose the following:
I told her that, as she described "old media" (print), it costs $35,000 to place a Full page ad in the New York Daily News. It costs $65,000 for an unscheduled ad in the NY Times. I told her that advertising in her Huffington Post (New media) was too expensive for a US Senate candidate like me currently. How can an FEC (Federal Election Commission) registered candidate like myself ever compete and get covered if the costs are so much? How exactly can you 'get the truth out' as a candidate like myself? I asked if she would consider having a candidate forum for major offices on Huffington Post. We'll see...I'd like to be interviewed by them even better!
Good night.
