He's going to invite all the media types form the various networks to his home, HAVE THEM present him with a list of names who they feel comfortable with being the next HC of the Redskins. Once all parties are comfortable with the list of candidates, they will return to their respective networks, conduct a poll and whatever candidate emerges as leader from the poll results he will name his next HC. But wait, there's a catch!!...............They will also have to pay him.

Let's be more specific than just throwing out the term "media" and saying they are universally out to get Snyder (poor Dan). Even the King piece, which inspired this thread, wasn't vitrolic (as was much fan response to Fassel, underservedly so in my opinion) he was simply stating - in his opinion as a commentator and columnist - a better option existed which would have had an experienced coach on top with Jim Zorn running the offense. I tend to agree with that sentiment, but now we're moving forward. Wilbon was unconditionally laudatory of the move and last I checked he qualified as a "media type". I think much media coverage deserves criticism (take for instance all the 'horse race' coverage of the primaries), but not everyone in the "media" represents some scary force with some maniacle agenda.
