[Infowarrior] - WaPo selling editorial space

[Richard Forno]

FYI, the WaPo is raising a paywall shortly.  

In addition, they're offering 'Sponsored Views' that show up with the byline 'Editorial Board' -- which I think is quite misleading.   When a newspaper's editorial board writes something, one presumes it, through its employed editors, is taking a unified stand on something.  Snarky comments aside, using that same moniker to attribute 'sponsored views' is IMHO dishonest journalism and stealth marketing.
