Like other media companies, The Post hosts conferences and live events …. These events make news and inform their audiences.

I thought the role of the news media was to report the news, not make the news.

The Post is a house organ for the Democrat Party. There is an occasional conservative on the Op-Ed page (which the majority of remaining readers want kicked off), but every story is reported with a blatant and obvious liberal bias.

In five years the Post will be gone and good riddance.

Follow up question: Isn’t Bob Woodward to old to be turning tricks, in a matter of speaking?

Stop thinking with the LITTLE HEAD!

When you think with the big head, you realize that the “Come get me!” come hither look is proffered to anyone and is a cover for not doing the job that the free press has traditionally done in the United States. That is, the free press is the foil against which the government must engage. When the free press becomes an arm of the government, no matter the economic woes of the time, they can only provide propaganda, not journalism.

CAW-tail hour features CAW-vier canapes.

Heck, my cat won’t even urinate on either if I line her litter box with them.

Your kitty shows more intelligence and discernment than the Head WaPoHo.

The Washington Post remains committed, now and always, to the highest standards of journalistic integrity. stooping to whatever is required to promote Marxism and assure that an absolute Nazi/Marxist/Socialist dictatorship replaces the Republic. No level of whoring is too despicable, no attack on anyone who stands in our way is too vile, no lie is too outrageous. Nothing is more important to us than that, and nothing will shake that commitment.

Just think of me as Accuracy in Media.

Whether in print or at a conference, when the news department is involved, we decide the topic, and we decide how to create the content news.”

Even the apology is telling in that it basically says they “create the news”. They are supposed to report the news. Not create it as they see fit. This is the whole problem with the MSM. They are no longer content to report. They have taken it upon themselves to create power by making themselves king-makers.

Are we to seriously believe that an event that would garner tens of thousands of dollars to the Post, taking place at the home of its publisher, had no oversight in the creation of its marketing materials?

Maybe the oversight of the program was delegated to the same White House officials who handled the ABC infomercial.

The sentence that made me laugh the most is “The Washington Post remains committed, now and always, to the highest standards of journalistic integrity.” And I am Miss America.

Some Leftists are still convinced that the WaPo lied for Bush prior to the Iraq War.

Our mistake was to suggest that we would hold and participate in an off-the-record dinner with journalists and power brokers paid for by a sponsor.

Is the mistake only that was paid for by a sponsor? Suppose the WaPo had offered to convene health industry lobbyists with the key health policy decisonmakers, in a confidential secluded “nonconfrontational” setting, with no money changing hands. Would that have been acceptable?

Yup… Me too. I laughed and cursed at the same time on that bit. Plus, to that I say… prove it.

Hold Obama’s feet to the fire at every turn. Make him prove his policies by your using that paper of yours as a devil’s advocate on every stinking thing that he tries to do (I say it as that because I know that you lock-step love most of his commie ideas). If they are good ideas, it should be easy for the ’smartest president ever’ to win America over even above your arguments against his.

I know that they won’t though… Lap dogs in heat. That is what most of the MSM has become. And she was setting up stud service, planned, prepared and ready for delivery. As is usual in cases as this one, the only thing that she is sorry for, is that they got caught.

LOL! I have a BS in Journalism. I guess she does too.

She is the “BS” in journalism.
