Has Woodward experienced a resurgence of the curiosity that lead him to expose the Watergate scandal?
He has been astonishingly incurious about many, far worse national political scandals since then, which caused some people to wonder if his pursuit of Watergate was merely partisan politics rather than some high-minded pursuit of truth.
Maybe he was just tired after the Watergate exposure and needed a rest.
I’ve held Bernstein and Woodward in contempt almost all my life. Sure Nixon had his short comings, but every American president did the same thing he did. Nixon was stupid, and got caught over nothing, but B & W were media whores who went after Nixon with the help of Dean and some others, so they could ride the party circuit of the left.
And the country suffered dearly because of this. That buffoon Ford comes in, and knocks out REagan, then we get Carter, and our soldiers go in to undo his betrayal of the Shah.
So here’s the deal, Bob. IF your are the journalist you say you are, let’s cut thru the partisanship, and really dive into the story here, and please find your secret deep throat sources and uncover the truth. We here all know the truth. CLinton and Obama lied, and they have blood on their hands, and dirt on each other.
Find out the truth, Bob, and all things will be right with you and me. Fact is, Bob, this will require you to be an impartial journalist, which you are not.
But, I’ll give you a chance, Bob. I’ll give you from now and July to show me what you intend to do with this story.
