WaPo Ombudsman Cries Foul at Republished Hit Piece on Koch Brothers
Washington Post ombudsman Patrick Pexton cried foul in Sunday’s paper over something the Post republished: a Bloomberg hatchet job on the Tea Party-backing Koch brothers on a day it looked like it had a Sunday Anti-Business section . Pexton said the Kochs are certainly newsworthy in the size of the global business concerns, “But I think The Post erred in republishing this story, or at least in the way it did. And when the Kochs complained to The Post after publication, The Post’s response wasn’t handled well.”
