[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jeff, that is a remarkably unfair description of Graham. There is plenty to fault with your commentary.

You assume he's acting in a way to protect his Kaplan empire. You imply his stance on education reform follows from his financial interest. It is more likely that his financial interest follows from his beliefs in education reform.

Your statement that when "push came to shove" seems to suggest that Graham was faced with a choice between keeping Kaplan or the Post, and he chose to keep Kaplan. I have not come across one iota of evidence, let alone even a suggestion, that he was faced with such a dilemma. Don't ascribe sinister behavior because you disagree with his stance.

This is reckless and other people think you're better than this. I'm relatively new here, so I'll withhold an uniformed opinion. [/quote]

Fairness with regard to the Graham family is not actually a priority for me. Regardless, Graham had a choice whether to keep both the Post and Kaplan or to keep one or the other. He chose to keep Kaplan. I have no idea what motivates him to be a supporter of for-profit education, but it is not hard to believe that it is financial reward. There is nothing wrong with that, but you seem to believe that it would be wrong to make such a suggestion. If there is any unfairness going on, I believe it is the provision of a platform for Graham to comment on education matters in DC without disclosing his conflict of interest.

Your double-down is disgusting.

The value of fairness is not dependent upon the object.

Everything in life is a choice. You chose not to adopt that starving kid from Ethiopia I see on TV all the time. I have no idea what motivates a man of means, such as yourself, to so wantonly disregard the plight of the starving kid from Ethiopia. I guess your priorities were a new XBox and dessert at [14th St. Restaurant].

I think you're a racist, misogynistic scumbag. What's that? I have no evidence. Well, the onus is on you to come out front and declare your love of different races and women. You would have done that if you weren't truly a racist scumbag. [/quote]
