How Do They Sleep At Night?

The Washington Post continues it's journey down the long road of irrelevance.

The Washington Post's executive editor says his paper should have told readers up front that it had helped arrange a Republican debate-watching party it covered, paid for food and carried a photograph that was not as spontaneous as the story suggested.

"That particular event does not live up to standards," Leonard Downie Jr. said Friday.

The story also notes that the Post had sought out and found Democrats to host a debate party. The issue here isn't that the Post arranged a Republican party per se, it's that the Post arranged any kind of party, and then reported on it without informing readers of that fact.

It isn't particularly sinister, it's just stupid.
