I haven’t seen anyone comment on a certain bit of irony associated with this incident. Woodward made a name for himself with Watergate. One reason why the press pursued Watergate so energetically was that Nixon and his V.P. Agnew had antagonized the press. Agnew went around making speeches where he criticized the press, famously calling them effete snobs. Nixon thought the press was out to get him. It was kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And now here is Obama antagonizing Woodward and others in the press.
Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.
