A few weeks ago Washington Post Managing Editor Raju Narisetti rued in this tweet via his Twitter account: “We can incur all sorts of federal deficits for wars and what not. But we have to promise not to increase it by $1 for healthcare reform? Sad.” Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander cited the tweet in a Friday night blog post about how the newspaper has issued new guidelines, on the use of social network sites, which state “nothing we do must call into question the impartiality of our news judgment.” That forced Narisetti to close his Twitter account. Alexander recounted:
Narisetti said today he now realizes that his tweets, although intended for a private audience of about 90 friends and associates, were unwise. They were “personal” observations, he said. “But I also realize that...seeing that the managing editor of The Post is weighing in on this, it’s a clear perception problem.”
On his defunct Twitter page, as captured by Google, Narisetti declared, as if he'd buy this contention from any politician (say, Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell and his 1989 college thesis over which the Post has obsessed): “My tweets have nothing to do with my day job.”

MEdia bias is getting more, and more out in the open. They don’t even try to hide it anymore...
The ostrich media. “If we do a better job of hiding our biases from the public, that means they don’t exist.”
Hilarious. The problem isn’t that the editor is obviously biased, it’s that he mistakenly REVEALED his bias. And the answer isn’t to remove him from the decision-making on articles dealing with health care, but to take steps to make sure no other reporters or editors make the mistake of letting people know they are biased.
Where the hell he get “$1”?
They went from “not a dime” to $1? lulz
This is typical of the paper thin level of analysis that these leftie moron “journalists” do. We have spent more money on education than any country on the planet, yet we have an education system worthy of a third world pit hoping to leap up to second world status.
Money is not the issue, and good intentions are not a measure of success. This dim bulb no doubt believed every word that his Marxist professors ever told him
He’s the managing editor of the Washington Compost. You don’t get his job if you believe in Federal fiscal responsibiity.
“nothing we do must call into question the impartiality of our news judgment.”
Satire? (((Smirkzzzz!)))
Sorry to inform him - it ain’t about a dollar.
How much have the wars cost?
Compared to the bailout?
Compared to Social Security?
and Medicare?
I feel sorry for Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander. He is trying hard but he is playing a loosing game. There is no way that WaPo will ever come out of it’s hard left turn.
I think what the new policy means is that “we” Wapo editors can to let the public know they are Socialist mouthpieces by leaving a trail of evidence on the Internet.
