You may remember the Washington Post as the newspaper that was outraged because autoworkers at near bankrupt car companies were getting $57,000 a year. So, naturally when it comes to multi-million dollar bonuses for executives at AIG, the bankrupt insurance giant, the Washington Post insists they must be paid (lead editorial and Ruth Marcus column). Can anyone find a pattern here?
