Washington Post "Reporter" Gives Briefing to Democrats at Secret Strategy Meeting

Hand in glove. They always were hand in glove, but they tried to pretend they weren't.

Now it's just out in the open.

Washington Post reporter Janell Ross gave a presentation at a secretive California gathering where Democratic politicians, liberal activists, and their biggest donors plotted the future of the progressive movement without notifying her superiors that she would be attending, according to a Post spokesman.
The Democracy Alliance went to great lengths to keep the identities of its members and guests confidential at its fall investment conference last week at the La Costa Resort, but the Washington Free Beacon obtained a detailed conference agenda that lists both events and featured guests.
Among them was Ross, a national reporter who closely covered the 2016 presidential campaign for the Washington Post and has since continued to cover the Trump administration.

Ross sat on a panel to assist conference-goers on the topic of "getting the economic narrative right" in future elections, according to the agenda, which can be viewed in full here.

22 I'll bet every one of the papers and outlets has extensive "policies" on avoiding gender-specific pronouns, not offending anyone of the Islamic persuasion and avoiding any "value judgements" about such things as the founding of our country.

Standards of professional integrity, such as not conspiring to create "narratives" with the politicians you are supposed to be "covering" not so much.

On the cultural front, I have taken some for the team.

I never got a list of who got whacked at the Mickey Mouse Sports Network, but the last few days there has been ZERO talk content on ESPN2 --nothing but (are you sitting down?) *actual sporting events*. It's like MTV in the '80s. For now, it looks like a case of the fans finally speaking out, and getting results.

The flagship station still has the SOS, though.

I'll bet the Dems are suddenly going to discover the Labor Participation Rate after ignoring it since the year 2000. It started falling when Clinton sold out American manufacturing to China and fell consistently for the past 16 years.

There's early indications it has now flatlined under Trump. Will take a tax cut to get it to move north again.

Good God, man! You're dabbling in tradition.

Records show that the first US President, George Washington, "...served an eggnog-like drink to visitors" which included "...rye whiskey, rum, and sherry." The President's recipe called for a variety of alcoholic beverages along with the dairy and egg ingredients: "One quart cream, one quart milk, one dozen tablespoons sugar, one pint brandy, 1/2 pint rye whiskey, 1/2 pint Jamaica rum, [and] 1/4 pint sherry." The recipe instructs cooks to "mix [the] liquor first, then separate yolks and whites of eggs, add sugar to beaten yolks, mix well. Add milk and cream, slowly beating. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and fold slowly into mixture. Let set in cool place for several days. Taste frequently."

========

The political implications of "demographic change" are that if the Democrats aren't able to flood the country with newly minted Democrat voters, and aren't able to convince the native populace to be sterile (to save the planet, of course), then they are doomed. I think they're starting to panic.

I'm enjoying a holiday rum punch of Blackbeard's Cayman Islands Spiced Rum and Belvoir Fruit Farms Spiced Ginger Punch.

I'm enjoying it very, very much as a matter of fact.

Back in my J-school days, we talked in ethics class about the appearance of bias. Read of one instance in which a reporter was fired for putting a political bumper sticker on his/her car.

Something seems to happen once one moves to the Beltway.

But I'll bet that a lot of Post retirees, although liberal, are aghast at this.

And how the hell does a reporter just gallivant across the country without telling her editor that she'll be out of pocket for a few days? Do these people not have work schedules?
