Veteran journalist Bob Woodward revealed in a new interview that Washington Post reporters essentially ignored his warnings about the shortcomings of the infamous Christopher Steele dossier, amidst the feverish Russiagate media coverage that dominated the Trump administration.
In a lengthy report for Columbia Journalism Review, Jeff Gerth interviewed media and political figures wrapped up in Russiagate — the sweeping term for the allegations of Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election — including Donald Trump himself, finding in particular where the media went wrong. Woodward, one of the reporters famous for breaking the Watergate scandal for the Washington Post, told Gerth that viewers and readers had been "cheated" by the coverage.
"Bob Woodward, of the Post, told me that news coverage of the Russia inquiry ‘wasn’t handled well’ and that he thought viewers and readers had been 'cheated.' He urged newsrooms to 'walk down the painful road of introspection,'" Gerth wrote.

Rats are fleeing from the sinking ship
I didn’t hear him say this before 2020. Did he tell Carl Bernstein?
So the CIA Mockingbird stodge, Bob Woodward, is now trying to get on the other side of his regime changing operations? First Nixon and now Trump? Come to think of it, where was Bob Woodward during the Kennedy Assasination?
BS. Woodwork cashed in on the grift. There’s no salvaging his worthless, piece of crap reputation.
And yet, did he write ANYTHING about this? No, he only piled on unsubstantiated allegations against Trump. He’s like a crack whore trying to shift the conversation to why her john is carrying so much cash in a bad neighborhood.
Is Woodward still an asset of the CIA?
oh Bob, you’re livin’ in your own private Idaho
“Hey, guys!”, he told them. “You can’t just make stuff up! I mean, I can do that. But you can’t.”
Woodward was in military intelligence before he teamed up with Carl Bernstein.
Damage control? Woodward’s colleagues don’t care about facts or objectivity. In fact, few in the media do. See article below.
More of an asshat of the CIA.
Orange man bad! Get Trump! Get Trump!
This weasel has no credibility. I’ve heard his foaming at the mouth opining about the Orange Man before.
Is it possible that this the ONE time you don’t have video where Bobby wasn’t paid to got in front of the cameras and say “this is even worse than Watergate”?
This guy is more of a one hit wonder than Henny Youngman’s “take my wife.... please”
Woodward was a long time CIA agent before somehow becoming a ‘reporter’ for a major publication overnight - despite his complete lack of experience. So there’s no chance he’s was a CIA plant to take down Nixon, who was elected by the largest margin in US History [and ended the democrat’s Vietnam adventure BTW]. No chance at all.
His claim to fame is Watergate. We now know Watergate was a CIA operation carried out by CIA agents and the source for his ‘stories’ was a CIA official.
The guy was then, and has always been, a CIA plant.
So, he wants to be a hero again.
Exactly.
They both were chanting: “Worse than Watergate!”
Cheerleading it even.
Cancer patient trying to correct mistakes before he is accountable.
How many times did Bob say it was bigger than Watergate?
