Post publisher apologizes for paid dinner plan
Washington Post publisher apologizes for plan to hold paid dinners with officials, journalists
On Sunday July 5, 2009, 6:59 am EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Post's publisher apologized to readers Sunday for a plan to charge business leaders and lobbyists for intimate dinner discussions with government officials and the newspaper's journalists.
A flier surfaced last week promoting a plan to charge $25,000 to sponsor one of a series of dinner parties that would include off-the-record conversations with Post journalists and access to Washington insiders. The series was canceled Thursday.

Whoa. Wait a minute.........I can CHARGE dinner guests!?!?
I seem to remember George will having such a dinner in January and inviting Obama and others to it. Didn’t the Post already have such dinners last year. This idea has been floated before.
The difference being is that Will did not charge money. That’s what we’re talking about.

Not accepted. She’s only apologizing because she got caught. WaPO has been doing this since before Katherine Graham was in charge.
“Bout friggin’ time she apologized - this has been going on for three days ...
BTW, Kathryn, could you submit your resignation and ... pass the Grey Poupon, please ...
Well, the apology was made. Liberals say sorry, and now it is time to move on. Over. Finished. Never bring it up again. This is history. Any attempt to resurrect it from now on will be portrayed as the behavior of vengeful hatemongers.
Now, if liberals continually bring up the sins of a conservative, well, that is okay.
If it looks like a bribe, sounds like a bribe, smells like a bribe...
The Post has graduated from being a government hooker to being its pimp.
Honey, we doubted your independence and integrity well before any official flyer went out announcing it.
>>>>> We are witnessing a marriage of government and media previously unknown outside totalitarian nations. <<<<<
Wrong.
Completely not the case.
The press has always been corrupt. Always.
The “big lie” has been to convince contemporary America that they are “objective journalists,” the solons of truth and justice, and are incorruptible.
When the truth is that you can buy a journo with a free steak dinner and a pretty secretary.
Only because they got caught!

Lally Weymouth (born Elizabeth Morris Graham, July 3, 1943) is an American journalist who is the senior editor of Newsweek magazine.
She is an heir to the Washington Post media fortune, whose properties include Newsweek.
She is the only daughter of Katharine Graham and Philip Graham, both of whom were publishers of the Post.
From 1968 to 1969, Weymouth worked for Senator Robert F. Kennedy at the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation.
She worked as a freelance journalist and contributing editor from 1977 to 1983 for such publications as New York magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Atlantic Monthly, and Parade. From 1983 to 1986 she was a contributing editor for the Los Angeles Times.
She was a contributing editor at Newsweek from 1998 to 2001. Since 2001, as senior editor at Newsweek, she regularly interviews celebrities for both Newsweek and the Post.
Katherine Graham was the sister-in-law of Bob Graham, who was DEMOCRAT Governor of Florida and a long-time U.S. Senator.
Katherine Graham - After a short romance, on June 5, 1940, she married Philip Graham, a graduate of Harvard Law School and a clerk for Stanley Reed and later Felix Frankfurter, both of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Graham’s husband became publisher of the Post in 1946, and continued in that position and then as the head of the Washington Post Company as it expanded into television and purchased Newsweek magazine.
After several years of erratic behavior — sullen, depressed and introverted times as well as magnanimous, hard-working, brilliant times, later diagnosed as bipolar disorder — Philip Graham suffered a nervous breakdown.
At a newspaper conference in Phoenix, Arizona, Philip Graham, either drunk, having a nervous breakdown, or both, told the audience that President Kennedy was having an affair with Mary Pinchot Meyer.
HE HAD TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN (OR DRUNK) TO TELL THE TRUTH!!!
Philip Graham was taken to the private Chestnut Lodge psychiatric facility near Washington D.C.
TO SHUT HIM UP!!!
Sen. Bob Graham remembers Katharine Graham (his sister-in-law)
17-JUL-01
Sen. Bob Graham on Tuesday remembered his sister-in-law Katharine Graham with awe _ for her strength as a journalism icon as publisher of The Washington Post and her role as a loving family member.
“Her passion for The Post, her strength as a leader and her commitment to the highest standards of journalism, helped build her newspaper into her ideal,” Graham said. “Many of the ideas that shaped the last 40 or 50 years in this nation were born, then argued over, deconstructed and reconstructed around her dining table.
"If the events were to be sponsored by other companies, everything would be at arm's length," she said in the letter.
The Washington Post deserves a better Publisher - she has shamed the entire industry.
LOL - You’re bad angkor!
Heh.
But it’s all true ;-!
Thank God for the internet.
