WASHINGTON POST UPDATE: Every newspaper is a glass house. Of course it was a bad idea. Arguably the Post did even more damage to its credibility in trying to explain itself than it did with the original concept — as for instance with the declaration that a beautifully designed and widely distributed flyer was a “draft.” [...]
Jon Cohen and Jennifer Agiesta of the *Washington Post* news staff hoist the jolly roger and fire back at the mendacious and incompetent *Washington Post* editorial page: >About Those Iran Polls - Behind the Numbers: Public opinion surveys are central to the Iranian opposition's argument that the elections there were rigged for incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.... Now a competing poll conducted...

Howard Kurtz / Washington Post: Lack of Vision To Blame for Newspaper Woes — Is this it? — Is the product you are accustomed to holding in your hands a relic, soon to go the way of silent movies and manual typewriters? — I have been one of the industry’s most fervent optimists, convinced that [...]
Clearly, News Corp. is going to be a survivor. The publisher of The Wall Street Journal and several other daily papers in the U.S. has some significant advantages. Rupert Murdoch has proven to be adept at managing the assets and capital structure of the company, and I expect him to continue to do so....I think New York Times Co. survives, simply because I cannot imagine a world without the Times. It...
From Red Maryland –Richard E. Vatz If there is a serious and convincing argument that there is little or no left-wing political bias in most of the major mainstream U.S. newspaper news and op-ed pages, I have yet to hear it. The best counter argument is that there are some print reporters who successfully try to be [...]
The newspaper division reported an operating loss of $54 million. And to punctuate that unit's decline, cable TV revenue overtook publishing for the first time. Now newspapers bring The Washington Post Co. less revenue than either cable or Kaplan education services, two units that have helped shield the company from the publishing industry's woes.

Michael van der Galien, a moderate-conservative blogger, smells a hit job : "It didn’t take Democrats long before they went after newly elected Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele. The Washington Post published a hit piece on the first African American to lead the GOP, accusing him of violating campaign-finance laws. As the Corner ’s Steve Hayward points out, however,...
I’m surprised the Democrats let them publish this. Must be a rogue editor who must be stopped. Click on the image to see it bigger. Basically, a Democratic career politician’s biggest dream. Thanks for nothing Arlen Specter, Susan Collins and Judd Gregg. My only consolation is that the young idiots who gave us BHO will soon [...]
Thanks to Maureen for the heads up on this little interview that Michael Emerson did with the Washington Post. Liz: Speaking of obsessed viewers -- do you get recognized on the street? Michael: I get that more and more -- not so much in Hawaii where I live. Maybe the tourists here have other things on their mind. The tourists here are heavily Japanese and I don't know to what extent we are watched...
