The Washington Post -- then and now

Then - a three-fer from Newsbusters:

WashPost Promotes Photo Exhibit Glorifying Occupy Wall Street 'Emotional Impact'

Post/NYT: 182,000 Words on Occupy Wall Street and Counting

And today, from Breitbart:

WaPo Executives Make Millions While Paper Cuts Staff, Benefits
The publisher of the struggling Washington Post made over $2.4 million last year, and at least three other executives made over $3 million while the left-leaning newspaper slashed benefits for its employees and laid off others.

According to Securities and Exchange filings reviewed by the Washington City Paper, publisher Katharine Weymouth earned $2,436,413 in salary and bonuses last year. Her "haul came from her $625,000 salary, a bonus of $611,413, and a $1,200,000 payment for a 2009-2012 incentive plan." She also "received a 3.5 percent raise this year, with her new salary set at $646,875." She received her raise even though The Post Co.'s share price fell three percent in 2012.

The Post has reduced benefits for its employees while dumping its Ombudsman and slashing jobs after Valentine's Day, while advancing the narrative that CEOs who do the same are villains. The paper has lost subscribers, advertisers, and its stock has gone down by three percent.

Must be nice to be a child of privilege and not have to really work. If things get sticky, you can always let people go -- there are so many lined up for work...
