Most reporters do not even know who Woodward is. They may remember the name from some class in journalism school, but nothing more.

Who cares if the White House devours him? It is right because nobody should criticize Obama.

This is what happens when socialists take control. Some of their own revolt at the horror and are the first sent to die.

“If it bleeds, it leads!”

Time for the White House press to report and get their collective noses off this president’s coccyx. It is beginning to affect his golf swing.

Look how far we’ve come from having a press corps that exercises some degree of objectivity. It’s like the excitement a thirsting man gets when crossing a desert and he sees a mirage on the horizon.

This abuse crosses party lines:

“Former Clinton aide, columnist joins Woodward in claiming White House threat”

(Lanny Davis has been a high ranking Dem for many many years and he received same treatment)

Obozo’s minions are evil. He and they serve the father-of-lies.

As Fournier wrote, the Woodward flap is indicative of the "increasingly toxic relationship between media and government." Things have gotten so ugly...

Really? And what does that mean? No more after date "I love you" texts? No more reach arounds? Does the one stream media actually want an apology this time before they forgive him? Maybe if you gave him another Nobel he'd be nicer to you?

I've never seen such a love fest between the press and politicians as now with obama, and that's after eight unwanted years of blue dress, voter voyeurism watching Clinton getting getting done by the press corpse and debating the meaning of "is".

Things have gotten so ugly that in the midst of the Woodward flap, Fournier put an anonymous White House source on notice that if he continued to send him emails filled with "vulgarity, abusive language" and you'll-regret-it talk, Fournier would feel free to print said missives with attribution.

He should do it anyway!

Why would he feel the need to protect the dirtbag from the taxpayers?

this could be a turning point -- the moment when the White House press corps starts pushing back.

I'd like to believe this, except for the matters of "the moment when the White House press corps starts" and "pushing back".

No less than Helen Thomas harrumphed vigorously back in 2009 about how the "journalists" in an upcoming press event were going to be called in a predetermined order.

And recall a few weekends ago when they were moaning and wailing about having no access during his golf weekend with Tiger Woods. Ready for the pushback? The first and only question after all that: "Who won?"

Woodward-Sperling Flap May Turn Tide

Dreamer. Woodward is outnumbered by 25,000 to 1. They have already voted him and his story irrelevant.

Now, let's get back to talking about how the GOP devised and rammed the sequester into law against the president's wishes and how it is going to cause 170,000,000 Americans to lose their jobs.

This is starting to take on the smell of a phony issue.

The news media's credibility is at an all time low. The lower the news media's credibility goes the lower the presidents credibility goes.

What better way for King Zippo to be able to lie with impunity than create and hype a phony story that the news media is being threatened if they report his lies.

Hype it up enough and pretty soon people will believe if the news media would report this insignificant lie certainly they wouldn't cover up something of real importance.

This is starting to smell like something really big is about to hit the fan and the WH is going to need people to believe the press wouldn't cover up his lies.

I’m not buying it; Benghazi alone dwarfs Watergate, yet the Hussein media won’t touch it. When the NYT puts the timeline on the front page and points out the outright lies from the admin, maybe. When Mika and Joe scoff at the absurdity of the “video made them riot” meme. I might concede a shift. Until folks are crucified for Benghazi this article means nothing..

Ed Henry of Fox News asked why the White House had held a closed-to-the-press swearing in for Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

So why DID the White House hold a closed swearing in for Lew?

Woodward brought down Nixon by revealing a cover up about a two bit burglary by some campaign operatives. Clearly Woodward has far more damning information about Obama. The question is would Woodward be willing to regain his reputation and do the same to Obama? Normally I would say no as a card carrying liberal the routine is to defend Obama no matter what. However, Obama made the mistake of threatening Woodward. That might steel his resolve, but I have little hope.

If Obama and thugs are threatening the press that's A BIGGER STORY than Benghazi... it's tells the totalitarian nature of this administration. Ask the people forced to starve under Stalin if that type of thing mattered...mattered more than the daily 'tractor production numbers'. It matters. Fournier is right on this and the twit complaining is wrong..
