Nico Pitney's more than a pretty face.

The Tokyo-born, California-bred 26 year old currently works as Huffington Post's National Editor, but traces his occupational origins to more activist endeavors at the Center for American Progress.

Editor Andrew recently sat down with Pitney to discuss the intersection of journalism and activism, the state of the conservative movement and how there's no such thing as objective reporting.
