    From the page: "Underwriting Opportunity: An evening with the right people can alter the debate," says the one-page flier.

    A good example of US government/media/corporate collusion-- in short-- fascism-- usually, it's not this obvious.

    The Washington Post is selling access to political VIPs in order to maintain revenue.

    From the page: "Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was canceling plans for an exclusive "salon" at her home where for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record access to "those powerful few" -- Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and even the paper's own reporters and editors."

    It sounds like an overzealous marketing person combined with a time of massive revenue concerns combined to create a perfect storm of unintended idiocy. I;m not a Dem but I also don't share the cynicism many in my party have towards Obama - my initial instinct is to believe this was probably pitched to them as a panel/forum type opportunity and not in the way it was outlined in the flier.

    Sadly, it appears the once prestigious Washington Post is selling access to key Obama Administration figures as well as access to their own reporting staff. A recent flier sent out by their marketing department to lobbyists shows that something is not right at the Post.1) Why would the Obama administration allow its staff to be pimped out like this?2) Why would a supposedly objective newspaper have this much access to our president's administration?3) Why would a respectable newspaper pimp its contacts out like this for money?
