July 2, 2009 When a newspaper blatantly commits incest
I'm speechless after reading this Politico article by Mike Allen that details how the Washington Post is selling access to "key Obama Administration and Congressional leaders ..." for $25,000 to $250,000:
The astonishing offer is detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a health-care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the lobbyist said he feels it's a conflict for the paper to charge for access to, as the flier says, its "health care reporting and editorial staff." How can anything written in the Washington Post be taken seriously anymore? One would think heads would roll after a revelation like this except the events are going to be taking place at the house of the publisher! Here's part of the copy on the flier: "Underwriting Opportunity: An evening with the right people can alter the debate," says the one-page flier. "Underwrite and participate in this intimate and exclusive Washington Post Salon, an off-the-record dinner and discussion at the home of CEO and Publisher Katharine Weymouth ... Bring your organization's CEO or executive director literally to the table. Interact with key Obama Administration and Congressional leaders ... When it comes to a blatant violation of journalistic ethics, this one beats all. First ABC, and now the Washington Post have turned their media over to the Obama administration for purposes of advancing the White House agenda. And they're getting paid to do it. "Whore" is too nice a word for it. I prefer the old fashioned "Strumpet" or perhaps "tart" to describe their actions. Absolutely shameful. Hat Tip: Ed Lasky |
