Wow how cute. The newspaper of the fake stories is now calling out the WA Post on Ethics.

Weymouth may not survive this. She only got the job because she was MeeMaw’s (Katherine Graham) favorite.

Katharine Weymouth, the relatively new publisher of The Washington Post, is a lawyer who worked for the company for 12 years and was educated at the Harvard School of Business, so she is hardly a naïf in running a business.The writer thinks the above qualifies someone to run a business?

NY Times is just jealous that it did not come up with the idea.
The real question here is who at the White House knew and went along with such....

Neither paper is worthy of wiping ones rear end with.
Both are in the hip pocket of liberals making impossible to be fair or honest.

Absolutely, you are on the mark.

Does anyone believe this hasn’t been going on since Martha Graham?
Nothing new, just got out to the public this time.

Weymouth had to know and approve of the outreach. The soirees were planned for her dining table.

Mrs. Graham bestowed legitimacy (Richard M. Nixon never made the cut, even as president). I can undersatand this. Yet it begs the question. What politicians, who register just as high on the hack meter, made the cut?
I suppose when you are editorializing you need to get in the dig, knowing that following the thought gets you little except a really deep hole.

The WA Post needs to come up to Albany, NY to learn how to make money. In May 2007 the Albany Times Union ran a front page article written by a group of journalism interns regarding an audit report by New York state employees which claimed that Verizon was trying to be reimbursed for $230 million IN Federal monies that they were not entitled to. The reimbursement was related to the 9/11/01 terrorist attack on NYC. The report by the auditors was obtained through a FOI request.
Sometime later, an editor, Rex something or other, wrote an editorial where he stated that he had met with the Verizon representatives (code for lobbyists) and everything looked OK. Nary a word in the paper since. Incidentally though Rex met with the Verizon people there is no mention anywhere that he met with the State Auditors. LESSON: DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE MONEY AND DON'T SELL YOURSELF CHEAP. The Hearst organization (who at the time owned one of the two newspapers in town) is really good at this type of operation. A Hearst representative made a deal with Willie Brown, then Mayor of San Fransico, to endorse him (but only on the editorial pages /S) if he would not contest the Hearst organization taking over the other paper in town.

The Post has been selling it all along, and will continue to sell it. This is simply the first time they used a medium (the flyer) that amounts to being caught red-handed. Lesson learned.
