The less interesting thing here is the venality and greed—or perhaps the financial desperation—of Post's senior management. The more interesting dimension is the seamless, interlocking connections between the Post and this Administration. The Post promised to deliver not only it's “journalists”, but also White House officials. And why not? After all, they are all on the same team, with the Post, like the AP and the major networks, serving as little more than an extension of the White House press operation. We are witnessing a marriage of government and media previously unknown outside totalitarian nations. Thank God for the internet

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.
