Media dinners with insiders leave public hungry
No, "full responsibility" would entail resigning.
They've only said, "Whoops, my bad."
Which tells us that the Post finally lost its last two subscribers with any common sense, basic intelligence or moral conviction.
The few remaining Post readers are hopelessly dimwitted, babbling fools who actually think they've "won".
Well, they're in luck. Next time they come up with some unethical harebrained scheme, the whole newsroom will stand up and tell them...in unison.
LOL! Yes, like some newsroom slug is going to jump up and tell the two biggest bosses in the company they’re messing up.
“Hey Boss! Don’t do that! I’m warning you it’s not ethical!”
Does journalism really have a code of ethics? You know, like doctors, lawyers, engineers and CPA's do? A code which is clearly stated and constantly enforced? One which requires you to take periodic continuing professional education courses and requires you to pass tests on your knowledge of the rules and your handling of various situations? One where you can lose your license and face civil and/or criminal prosecution for violating its tenets?
Or is this more made-up bullcrap from a craft pretending to be a profession?
No and yes, in that order.
“Publisher Katharine Weymouth and Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli have now taken full responsibility...”
.
What does that mean?
lolololololololololololololololololol
Not a damn thing. No one is losing their job. No one is getting indicted. No one is demoted.
"We'll do better next time. We promise."
“Publisher Katharine Weymouth and Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli have now taken full responsibility...”
When did they resign? That is “full responsibility”. This,on the other hand, is little more than token hand wringing.
For $25,000, the Wash/Po will let you watch several muscle-bound construction workers manhandle Rahm Emanuel.
"O-o-o-o-o, I can't wait.
