What Liberal Media?
Holy Hoppin' Jesus on a stick!
For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post has offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to "those powerful few": Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and — at first — even the paper’s own reporters and editors.
To give the reporters credit, the Post's newsroom says it will not participate, but still, allowing access to editors for a price? Absolutly shameful. As Spork put it:
The smart thing would be to assume that anything one reads in the WaPo is pure propaganda.
