BOB WOODWARD HAS A TRAIL OF ACCURACY ISSUES THAT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT
ThE Daily Caller ^ | Sept 10, 2018 | Peter Hasson

Bob Woodward’s new book “Fear” presents a scathing depiction of President Donald Trump’s administration.

Woodward has a muddy history with a trail of allegations that he embellished the truth or otherwise misled his readers.

Media coverage of Woodward’s book has been largely positive and ignores Woodward’s controversial record.

Really great deconstruction of the fabulist, Bob Woodward. After reading this, i's unlikely any reasonable person will believe a thing he writes again.

My take is the Woodward desperately wants to add another ousted President to his trophy shelf before he calls it a career.

Woodward is a purveyor of propaganda. Nothing more.

He claims that he sneaked into William Casey’s hospital room. He said Casey woke from a coma to speak to him, and thereafter fell back into his final sleep after he finished talking to him in 1987.
This miracle workers claim was called impossible by Casey’s family and physicians.

“Delusional” would have been a better title.

Woodward still thinks it’s the early 70s. Those days are over.

Woodward has as much credibility as Amorosa, very little.
The media can worship him but he is not at all impressive.

Woodward is political porn-fiction.

His genre is a cross between Danielle Steele and Tom Clancy.

He helped bring down a Republican president. That makes him a saint to the left. He will always be treated as a hero, and given the worship that befits a hero of the left.

Look, Ladies & Gentlemen in America, The Democrat Party, The Media commentators, pundits, fake news reporters, etc., can praise, glorify, up lift, sing out, relative both Carl Bernstein & Bob Woodward for all eternity from Sun up to Sun down and it will not change the facts that these two gents are long gone deadbeat has beens.

The Democrat Party is in full panic mode, trying every little trick, scheme, underhanded ploy to bring down POTUS, Donald J. Trump and regain the total control of Congress, for they well know better then most of us, if the Republicans hold control of both Houses of Congress, the Democrat Party on the evening of November 6, 2018 will be politically dead for many years to come!!!

So...it’s simple fellow Americans, on November 6, 2018 or, before (early & absentee voting), you get your butts off that TV couch and take a run down to your nearest polling/voting precinct and vote for every Republican listed on your ballot, because your other alternative,...voting for Democrats, will not be kind to you & your loved ones, as you...select the Democrat that will work very hard to destroy this great nation republic and all its freedoms

I look at Bernstein and other American Jews that love the Democrat party. Well....let me enlighten you good folks, that there are many American Jews that hate both other Jews and, more importantly the State of Israel. ex-POTUS, Obama was working his butt off to destroy the state of Israel.

Do you have any idea what Russians, Chinese, Iranian, North Koreans would do to Jews by the millions...you know the answer to that quite well!!! Bernstein, and many Jews like him, have nary a clue as to the stark reality of this harsh, hateful world!!! Time to get real, American Jews as you make your political choice.

Support Trump, Support & vote for only Republicans, and, MAGA, GOP....GOTV (Get Out The Vote!!!)

Ever since we learned that Mark Felt was his informer we understood that Nixon was framed by a guy who was a right hand man to J Edgar Hoover and was bitter that Nixon didn't point him Director. The fable was the Woodward was a glorious investigative report who dug the story out with hard work.

The reality is the stories were handed to him by Felt and it was another partisan attack like we see today.

Here's a little parody of his sidekick, Bernstein.

Didn’t he claim to have interviewed someone at a time when medical records showed that person was unconscious in the hospital?

He said Casey woke from a coma to speak to him,

He was already dead according to his family. To consider him even today as a qualified reporter of ANYTHING is outrageous.

Maybe they should co-write a book.

Well, regardless of content, I'm sure they have 100 quotes they can fabricate.
