We Knew the media was "in the tank," but didn't know this deep

Washington Post Cancels Plans to Hold Costly Dinner for Lobbyists - Political News - FOXNews.com:
"After a newsroom uproar, The Washington Post has canceled plans to hold a high-dollar dinner at the publisher's home at which the company would have charged guests $25,000 and up for access to top officials in Washington...

"Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli told [media reporter Howard Kurtz] he was "appalled."

"It suggests that access to Washington Post journalists was available for purchase," he said. "We do not offer access to the newsroom for money."

Duh, do ya think? But aren't you? Methinks you just got busted, that's all.
