WaPo Clears Ezra of Wrongdoing

WaPo‘s Ombudsman Patrick Pexton has declared that whatever liberal blogger/news reporter/Democratic activist Ezra Klein did at a recent briefing of top Democratic Senate aides was not “evil.”

In fact, he says it wasn’t a “briefing” at all. That’s what Klein declared. That’s what three Democratic chiefs of staff with whom he spoke said. Case closed, right?

Maybe. But not so fast. In Pexton’s story published late Friday afternoon is the news that the briefing (or whatever people are calling them these days) was in fact a “private meeting” of Democratic chiefs of staff to discuss “strategy, coordination and policy.”
