“...when the WH press corps starts pushing back.”
When pigs fly.
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.
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.
Hmmm...he's usually on the panel at FNS. Not this week.
Was watching CNN while ago (at McDonald’s - not by choice) and they were making it sound like Woodward was exaggerating the threat. I would believe Charles Manson over Obama and his administration.
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..
and the went into overdrive with Sarah Palin. I have never seen anything like that in my life.
So why DID the White House hold a closed swearing in for Lew?
Normally I'd agree with you...ideologically that's true.
However, there is the matter of ratings to consider. DINO/liberal media is losing viewers/readers and FOX-like outlets are gaining. This is because viewers sense more truth from FOX.
If the lib media senses that their hype propoganda isn't working anymore they may begin to turn against Obama just to stay in business. I do believe they have sensed such a time approaching and if they feel they have reached a point of no return...look out for the exits IMO.
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.
“Benghazi alone dwarfs Watergate”
Dead On! I don’t mind in the least Woodward getting knocked around over his reporting even if he was trying to set the sequester record straight at Barky’s expense. I’m glad he is getting back some of his medicine and lampooned and discredited. Nixon must be enjoying it big time.
Now if Woodward would get some real balls and go after the Benghazi story like he did Watergate, I’d give him some journalistic cred.
Just proves once again how socialists turn on their own if anything gets in the way of their State-ist ideals or impugns their glorious leader.
Woodward has opened the door for any trace of self respect remaining in the American-American “press.”
But are there any? Other than a very few, and dismissing those who report for FOX, since they are dismissed as “right wingers.”
Sharyle Atkisson at CBS, but she can’t get a minute on her own network, and is reduced to sending out Tweets!
In 1972 Woodward and Carl Bernstein, two Washington Post junior reporters, reported on the failed burglary of the Democratic campaign headquarters at the Watergate Hotel in D.C. by White House operatives. Their subsequent reporting was a key factor in the resignation of Richard Nixon in 1974. These events persuaded thousands of young American leftists to enroll in journalism school and flood newspapers, TV and radio stations with job applications. Eventually these activists displaced more traditional journalists and in time they moved into management. Today they control most of American news media which means they control the message. This is the legacy of Woodward and Bernstein.
Bump for later...
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..
