Post apologizes:
Post publisher apologizes for paid dinner plan

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.
“I want to apologize for a planned new venture that went off track and for any cause we may have given you to doubt our independence and integrity,” Publisher Katharine Weymouth said in a letter that appeared in the newspaper’s op-ed section Sunday.

Hey Weymouth, this did not cause me to doubt your integrity, it is just one more nail in the coffin of your industry to confirm what we already knew, that you have less integrity than a street whore.
