C.J. BURCH ON THE WAPO access-selling scandal: “When a journalist says something now don’t you have to wonder who paid him to say it and why? And until you figure that out isn’t what the journalist says suspect, whether you happen to love him or hate him or even agree with him on policy issues? Aren’t we past the point of giving the benefit of the doubt to journalists?”

Upside — maybe we can pay them to cover actual news. It’s a thought!
