Morning Chatter

Morning Wondering: Something to watch over your breakfast of coffee and weed. Politico's Dylan Byers may want to look at this – or not. WaPo sale fallout "What's most interesting about Don Graham is how personally interested he is in tech. Unusual both for a newspaperman and a 68-year-old" -- Slate's Farhad Manjoo. "Just had a weird experience being interviewed by a Post reporter about the sale; neither of us really seem to know What It All Means." -- WCP Editor Mike Madden waxing philosophical coupled with a little Marty Rudolph capitalizing technique. "I know this is against the principles of journalism, but can everyone just take a deep breath and relax. Most of us don't know squat yet." -- WaPo's Tim Carman. "Not sure how head of Amazon turns around an aging newspaper, but Bezos knows a bit about the web. Maybe he just subsidizes good journalism" -- Fox News' Howard Kurtz (still so strange to write that). "The sale of the Washington Post is probably a good reminder that nobody/nothing is untouchable." -- WTOP's Neal Augenstein. "In his letter to the Washington Post, Bezos said that our coverage of restaurant openings is important! I switched beats at the right time." -- WaPo's Maura Judkis. "Based on your previous purchases, Jeff Bezos, you might also like: The Los Angeles Times, The Orlando Sentinel, Newsweek." -- Defense One's Marc Ambinder. Dramatically untrue "Antigua. Where love goes to die." -- Washingtonian Editor Garrett Graff, who is apparently a big watcher of "The Bachelorette." But actually Des ends up with Chris. So technically Graff is a bit off. Convo Between Two Journos This morning's conversation is between The Nation's Katrina vanden Heuvel and NPR's Kitty Eisele. vanden HEUVEL: @nprkitty My father-- knew Kay and Phil Graham well-- reminded me this aft.I call him whenever there are changes I have hard time coping w/ EISELE: @KatrinaNation sounds like our dads would have good chat ... there is always change ... who knows could be a big lift. someone has to invest EISELE: @KatrinaNation parents still have moon landing, nixon resignation hard copy issues in attic. I will miss newsprint so much if it goes.
