I invite key people to my house for dinner. I offer you access to him
at that dinner I set up for $50,000. You show up, meet, have your talk
and leave. The key people have no idea about your payment to me. This
was a business idea for a paper, not a political fundraiser, dum-dum.
*So you're a pimp. And your "key people" are just innocent sluts. LoL.
LoL. You didn't read your own cite...again. LoL.
Why do you jump to the stupid conclusion that there's some kind of
conspiracy here?
*That or they're just really really stupid. That is plausible. LoL.
LoL. Well, it's very clear and obvious *someone* here is really,
really stupid... LoL.
"Weymouth said the paper had planned a series of dinners with
participation from the newsroom “but with parameters such that we did
not in any way compromise our integrity. Sponsorship of events, like
advertising in the newspaper, must be at arm's length and cannot imply
control over the content or access to our journalists. At this
juncture, we will not be holding the planned July dinner and we will
not hold salon dinners involving the newsroom. “
Brauchli said in an interview that he understood the business side of
the Post planned on holding dinners on policy and was scheduled to
attend the July 21 dinner at Weymouth’s Washington home, but he said
he had not seen the material promoting it until today. “The flier, and
the description of these things, was not at all consistent with the
preliminary conversations the newsroom had,” Brauchli said, adding
that it was “absolutely impossible” the newsroom would participate in
the kind of event described in the solicitation for the event.
[...]
Brauchli emphasized that the newsroom had given specific parameters to
the paper’s business staff that he said were apparently not followed.
He said that for newsroom staffers to participate, they would have to
be able to ask questions and that he would “reserve the right to allow
any information or ideas that emerge from an event to shape or inform
our coverage.” That directly contradicts the solicitation to potential
sponsors, which billed the dinner as “off-the-record.”

So you're also very upset about and opposed to businesses sponsoring
things like the republican national convention, etc. That must make
you really, REALLY mad!
Or you didn't read your own cite...again.
What a ninny.
