As you may have heard, the Washington Post is trying to sell access to its reporters, as well as to members of Congress and officials of the Obama Administration.
Did anyone at the WaPo stop to think of how this would look? Did any of the pointy-haired imbeciles in management consider asking their reporters about this before announcing it?
This has all the marks of a sleazeball idea that was dreamed up by a graduate of the Harvard Business School (their alums include Mitt Romney and George Bush, if that's any clue).
Katherine Graham must be spinning in her grave.

You gotta give WaPo cred though as they finally have figured out a business plan now that no one wants to pay for their spews anymore.
Maybe the Harvard MBA classes will write them up as geniuses for figuring out the new business model (since we've sent all the real business overseas).

I think this is just the logical conclusion to the direction they've been headed for the last decade or so. Short of having the Republican Party and their advertisers write the stories, there's really not much further they can go and still fool anyone into thinking they want to do journalism there.
