For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post is offering lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to "those powerful few" — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and the paper’s own reporters and editors.
The astonishing offer is detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a
health care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the
lobbyist said he feels it’s a conflict for the paper to charge for
access to, as the flier says, its “health care reporting and editorial
staff."
