Washington Post
From Post editorial page editor
Fred Hiatt's chat:
Falls Church, Va.: I'm one of those baffled by the Post's reluctance to label Dana Milbank as a columnist. What is your view about that decision? And if he were to be officially designated a columnist, would he be welcome on the op ed page?
Fred Hiatt: Again, not my call. As a reader, I think Dana is trying to do something that no one else is doing, either in the news pages or on the oped pages--a sketch that can give you more of a feel, or a different feel, for Washington than news stories can, but not one based on opinion. I think they're often terrific.
PLUS: Hiatt gets questions about the Post's war editorials. He also says the paper is looking for a right-of-center blogger.
