I’d prefer Mitch Rapp.
They’d be vilified by the left FOR LIFE. Death threats against them if they took down Obama. Likely a career killer for anyone not wanting to work at Fox.
Fortunately there’s now a sex scandal. So the drive by media will have to pay attention.
The problem with the media to day is their judgement and outrage isn’t based on right and wrong, but on what party the person belongs to... If the New York Times shills find a Republican jay walking they reach down and discover a pair...
We do like hell! They kept deep throat’s identity a secret until Mark Felt’s death because they didn’t want it to be known that their “informant” was a disgruntled, jealous, and vengeful government employee who was pissed that Nixon passed him over for head of the FBI after Hoover’s death.
Bob Woodward’s books are worthless tripe.
The media is doing nothing different than it did during the Watergate era. Their job is to take down Republicans and protect Democrats. Woodward and Bernstein are still around, and defended to the death every charge against Obama and Clinton before. To expect the MSM to investigate Obama in the same way they would Nixon, Reagan, or W is a pipe dream. They will even move the goalposts while a story develops. I remember when the whole Monica thing hit. Sam Donaldson was speaking with Cokey Roberts on ABC prior to the blue dress. Both said that if the charges were true Clinton was done and would have to resign, After the blue dress both changed their tune on the dime and defended Slick to the death.

An interesting concept. At the same time, we realize that even the real Woodward and Bernstein weren't "Woodward and Bernstein." Their primary cause didn't appear to be the truth, patriotism, or even good journalism. They seem to have invented a lot of what they wrote (remember "factoids"?), and were following what Joe Sobran called The Hive in targeting Nixon because the Left never forgave him for nailing St. Alger Hissssss in 1948.
What we need is a group of truth-tellers to help take down our own little Mussolini.
Woodward might....forget Bernstein!!!
Please! You have to be joking W&B are a couple of the biggest hyped-up excuses for what one calls what passes for journalism that have ever existed. Woodward is a simp that trades on his notariety, and Bernstein - well, God knows what the hell he’s up to now....
They took a mole hill and blew it up into a mountain along with a bunch of colluding MSM ideologues. They are actually lightweight compared to the machinations of the Democrat Tyranny Regime now days.
They admired and loved the campus radicals who today dominate the Establishment.
The likes of Woodward, Bernstein, Bradlee, and Graham today are the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue whom the real Woodward, Bernstein, Bradlee, and Graham admired.
I remember.
The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were celebrated in the establishment MSM as the most intelligent generation ever!. They are now arguably that very establishment that praised them and they hold themselves and their ideological issue in even higher regard.
You are not going to find a Woodward and Bernstein in the MSM among the skid marks on Journalism's shorts.
BTW.. on Watergate, can anyone name one thing that Nixon did that JFK and LBJ did not do?
I can name one thing that the MSM did in Nixon's administration that they did not do in JFK's and LBJ's administrations.. they asked questions!
Does anyone here believe Woodward and Bernstein told the truth?
Fat chance..they are libs.
We don’t lack for reporters with integrity!
It’s just that the MSM won’t hire any of them, so 75% of the public never hears them!
Good luck wid dat!!!The guys Woodward and Bernstein were working for are in the White House!!!!
They killed Andrew Breitbart.
1972, Democrats lost and they sought to overturn the election by impeaching the Republican president.
1980, Democrats lost and they sought to overturn the elections (also 1984) with investigations into the Iranian hostage release and Iran-Contra.
1988, Democrats lost and they sought to overturn the election with “Brought to Light” investigations into Bush’s CIA activities.
2000, Democrats lost and the sought to overturn the election first with crackpot “Bush knew” conspiracy theories (even Hillary made the claim from the floor of the Senate) and then with talk of “war crimes” and “torture”.
PUSH BACK AT THE RATS
It was not the GOP who created this era of hostility in American politics.
Forget Woodward and Bernstein. We need Judge Sirica.
Threatening miscreants and traitors with iron bars in their face has a way of getting the truth out.
Sure, we could have a conservative Woodward, or Bernstein. That would work. Like Breitbart. Nothing happened to HIM...
