WSJ Columnist Hits WaPo On K Street Coverage
In his Wall Street Journal column today, Thomas Frank strongly rebukes the Washington Post for its recent coverage of the lobbying industry.
"Now the Washington Post, that great barometer of the capital's consensus, has taken on what can only be described as a worshipful attitude toward the lobbyist set," Frank writes. "And as its journalistic leader ushers in a new era, the attitude of the capital changes: Let us give thanks that our lobbyists are prosperous."
Frank points to last Sunday's front page story about the popularity of Ristorante Tosca amongst lobbyists as proof that the Washington Post is not hitting influence-peddlers with enough investigative journalism.
"The capital's main journalistic watchdog seems perfectly content to see politics made into a kind of financial transaction," Frank concludes.

Hi,
Ok, this remind me those days in the 20's - 30's were mafia were gathering together controling a city, "These regulars dine on the edge of Penn Quarter, the newly hip locus of Washington lobbying power, the product of a migration east from K Street to the glossy new offices and trendy brick fixer-uppers. You can't underestimate the power of cool."
So now we now where the tax money goes... yeah that's so cool (not being ironic)
