For the past week Washington has found itself debating Bob Woodward. The occasion: his very public argument with White House senior official Gene Sperling, in which Woodward left the impression that Sperling had somehow tried to intimidate him—only to see this accusation undermined
--SNIP-- For the Post they had written about the president’s men; in the book they were writing about themselves and their sources. Simultaneously, they adopted a style that was all the rage at the time—the so-called New Journalism, a technique that employed literary devices normally considered the domain of novels. In the hands of an apostle like Tom Wolfe or Norman Mailer, the result might be categorized as literature. But the critic Dwight MacDonald argued it was actually a bastard form that tried to have it both ways: “exploiting the factual authority of journalism and the atmospheric license of fiction.”

He and Bernstein did the Deep State’s budding by bringing down Nixon. They still think they did that
The book Sikent Coup details what a lying traitor Wooodward was and is
He’s the Kitty Kelley/Albert Goldman of DC.
Bob “Nixon-slayer” Woodward.
The way the alleged comments are being denied by major players like Kelly and Mattis, Woodward may not remain an iconic reporter. Only the screeching banshees on the left will buy what Woodward is selling.
Webster’s announces “TL;DR” gets in the dictionary this week.
Another good book is
The Real Watergate Scandal: Collusion, Conspiracy, and the Plot That Brought Nixon Down
They’re going ALL OUT..better gird yourselves..they’re coming for the whole enchilada!! The Polls D+14, Woodward’s book and now the circus of a hearing...SOOO WHERE’S ALL THAT COLD ANGER I keep hearing?
Anyone who works for the Washington post is someone with a vile leftist agenda and no regard for the truth.
I grew up in the same town as Bob Woodward and knew his family. His father was a lawyer and wanted me to work for him because I was proficient in shorthand, but as a teenager I thought it would be boring. Imagine what secrets I could have learned.
What does is mean?
it.
This was actually a good article with a lot information in it, but I got bogged down in the middle of it wondering when it would end.
Thanks.
He isn’t. Except to the chablis-and-brie set, to whom Joe Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, and Che Guevara are also icons.
Woodward and Bernstein, most overrated journalists in America. Both have been riding Watergate for over 40 years but are nothing more than just partisan hacks.
“His misrepresentation of his interaction with Sperling...”
In that book “Silent Coup” it is brought out that Woodward was a military radioman and involved in passing along messages that were meant only for Kissinger (State Department) - he also gave them to Admiral Moorer and Haig (military). The “military complex” vs. the administration at the time. Back in 1969 - 70 or so. Woodward denied his early relationship to Haig, but others DID talk about his early relationship with Haig.
