The Washington Post is reportedly considering doing away with Sally Quinn's godawful self-absorbed rich lady column from hell, which is an embarrassment to the entire institution. Do it, Marcus Brauchli! Be a hero today! And fire her editor, while you're at it.

Poor Washington Post Can't Lure the Fancy Reporters
In your wearying Wednesday media column: the Washington Post is somewhat unpopular, the NYT is just coasting, Steve Coll's secret reading list, and a late freelancer payment tidbit.
What are those slick bastards at the Washington Post trying now? They are trying—and failing—to hire a bunch of good reporters away from the NYT, according to Michael Calderone. If only there were a massive pool of unemployed and underemployed qualified, struggling journalists from which they could pull talent, instead.
And that looks even worse for the Washington Post, since all the New York Times can offer its own staffers now are fake sideways promotions, like, why don't you go from editing this one thing, to writing about this other thing? Because there are no new jobs there, you see. But hey, at least it's not the Washington Post!
