Veteran investigative reporter Bob Woodward on Wednesday night came under heavy criticism at a Washington, D.C., event promoting a pair of New York Times reporters' best-selling book, "She Said," with many voicing frustration over how he handled an interview with the journalists.
The disapproval from many appeared to be aimed at Woodward's line of questioning. Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor's book, which was released last month, focuses on an in-depth investigation of sexual harassment and assault allegations against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. The reporting sheds light on how the Weinstein story impacted what is now known as the "Me Too" movement.

"Woodward is blowing this interview," Recode editor-in-chief and New York Times contributing writer Kara Swisher wrote on Twitter during the event, which occurred at the Washington event space Sixth & I.
"Interruptive, not focused on the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein and weirdly obsessed with that creep, it’s a exercise in how not to interview. The crowd no like," she wrote.
"Listening to [Kantor] and [Twohey] discuss their remarkable reporting, and Bob Woodward keeps cutting them off," Kira Lerner, a reporter for The Appeal, said. "He's also repeatedly asking them why Weinstein did this, and the audience is protesting/yelling back/walking out."

Woodward and Bernstein have both been disappointments.
It’s wonderful to watch the left slowly self destruct.
Yes it is. The lefts coordinated script is usually garrenteed
on media.
Hmmm...I wonder if Mr. Woodward has been to Lolita Island?
Stupid Woodward, not remembering that the Pussy Pass beats the Journolist Card.
Halderman & Co were never as dangerous to Woodward as the PC police will be.
Woodward is bad but Bernstein is absolutely vile.
Weinstein kept doing it because women kept letting him.
Women are our own worst enemies in this.
Don’t get on the casting couch for a part and then play the victim.
These women might have said no and cried foul before allowing themselves to be molested. Maybe if they refused to play ball he might have stopped pitching the game.
Why should Woodward care about THEM? This story is over, and it does nothing to bring down a sitting President. Unless it is a scandal with the suffix ‘gate’, Bob don’t care.
I thought is was known as the "pound me too" movement.
Yes.
There's a reason several high profile actresses WON'T publically condemn Harvey.
They were willing to do anything to achieve fame.
Sell your body and soul for that chance.
And it is a tale as old as Hollywood itself.
Hell, I guarantee a lot of MALE stars got their start by servicing Hollywood producers, too.
But a male star would NEVER come out and claim harassment.
It would ruin their career.
Sounds like Hannity.
Ping.
I would trust a color-blind roulette addict more than Quiff!
