Who: Owner and CEO of the Washington Post

What: Graham contributed $100,000 in the name of the Washington Post to the 2005 Bush Inagural Balls. (Now the contribution is tax deductible as a company entertainment expense)

Detail: Graham wants a seat in the front row at the one and only press conference next Bush term. Donald inherited the paper when his mother, Katherine Graham passed away in 2001. She was quoted as saying "There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn’t. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows". Can a newspaper be objective about what is legitimate at the same time it is dancing at the ball? Donald Graham also owns Newsweek magazine.
