So, after realizing, post-election, that I despised the current incarnation of Anderson Cooper's CNN show, I put in for an interview with him. The interview, scheduled for a week ago Friday, got canceled as he suddenly had an opportunity to go to Mexico City. But he got snowed in, so I had 15 minutes notice to hike up to the heinous Time Warner Center in the super-slush. (Passive-aggressively, and I did not notice this until I was at dinner later, I threw on a blue dress shirt that had a big stain on the front. Hmm, secretly hostile!) His new office is about the same size as his old office, but has a good view and pride of place off a full-floor newsroom—and also a small walk-in closet, which contains row upon row of dark and apparently near-identical suits. This was also right before CNN killed its "crawl," that irritating invention of 9/11 news overload, the absence of which now improves all of CNN's shows.

This interview with Arianna Huffington will probably raise some hackles in any number of newsrooms. But wait! Here's some extra that didn't "fit" in the "paper." And Ms. Huffington does profess her love for newspapers and books both. Her house in L.A. is piled with dead-tree books, after all—and you can get newspapers delivered anywhere, if you have but the right technology.
You have a new book, "The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging." Why isn't it a blog?
It was done our editors--it's not my book. It is a blog, too! For the same reason: I don't think it's either/or. I don't think books will disappear. I think they're appealing to different needs. And I see the future as a hybrid future, I don't see it as a future where only online exists. I actually have felt that even more than a couple years ago. I was on vacation in the Caribbean and our host had software on his boat where he would print newspapers. And there we were overlooking the Caribbean, all of us totally wired--laptops, iPhones, BlackBerries-- and we're passing around the New York Post and the Herald Tribune.

Yeah, Barry Diller's boat is nice, isn't it?
It wasn't Barry's boat.

Are you secretly writing something--a book?
No! Not secretly writing anything. I have no spare time. My spare time is spent actually not writing.
