The Solomon Scandals A Washington newspaper novel by David Rothman

Truth or PR spin? W. Post’s Dana Milbank fires back at TNR’s ‘Apocalypse’ analysis of L Street

Fir­ing back at the New Republic’s Gabriel Sher­man, Dana Mil­bank at the Wash­ing­ton Post is spot on when he says the death watch on the Post news­pa­per is pre­ma­ture. I’ve given my own two cents on sur­vival strate­gies.

That said, Mil­bank needs to remem­ber that the Wash­ing­ton Post Com­pany’s pri­or­i­ties are less jour­nal­is­tic and more business-oriented than in the Water­gate days.
