97% of the mainstream media - newspapers, magazines, television, and radio are owned by a handful of corporations, and have been for some time. They bought out your hometown radio station and newspaper years ago. We need a free and independent press. How about one that has reporters and paparazzi taking pictures of our elected officials and reporting on which lobbyists they dine with? Now THAT would be some valuable reporting.

Washington Post,  Way to throw the White House under the bus.

Newspapers were/are dying off and need money anywhere they can get it. I wouldn't feel too bad about WaPo's standards - people mostly get their opinion from NYT or cable news anyway. But I would like to point out that WaPo is a right-wing daily, and we all have a sense of which side the right is on with the healthcare question - I don't see how trying to get the lobbyists to pay for what they're printing anyway is such a bad idea... their boast about top Dems being there was fiction, guaranteed

I dont see anything wrong with the news company/media outlet hosting a conference and making money from it. The Economist does it. Its a problem when one side of a story has the economic resources to disproportionally influence how that issue should be presented.

Did The Washington Post Sell Out Their Ethics? Yes just like the rest of the so called MSM. Hail Obama on you knees and call him GOD

[AntigoneRisen]

No, indeed, but the internet has it's own drawbacks. Anyone can publish anything at all, true or false. May people begin to redevelop discernment.

[jessabelle303]

Agree Antigone... but I think the internet is rising. They can't control the internet...

[ccm800]

exactly - no one seems to have good answers to that question.

[ZakkiLewis]

[ZakkiLewis]
