Big story broken by Politico today. The Washington Post is offering lobbyists access to the powerful (for a small fee, of course): 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 […]
