WASHINGTON, DC -- Perhaps it should have been called "Pimp my newspaper."
For a steep price, the Washington Post planned to invite lobbyists to the home of the paper's CEO and publisher, Katherine Weymouth, to hobnob with Obama administration officials, members of Congress and even the paper's own working reporters and editors.
At a cost of anywhere from $25,000 to $250,000, the so-called "salons" hosted by the vaunted giant of journalism were expected to put wealthy and willing lobbyists in touch with "those powerful few" in Washington who make all the decisions.
