Ephron threw this tidbit out about the first gate, Watergate, in her post: "Bob is not a liar. This isn’t to say that he hasn’t told a lie or two in the course of his life (there was a big whopper during the Deep Throat saga)."
Ephron was once married to Woodward's Watergate reporting partner Carl Bernstein, so she may have good reason to know something here.

Hmm...reporters LIE?? Say it ain't SO!
She's not the first to complain about Woodward being too far "inside" .
Especially a MSM reporter who works for the WA Red Post.
Deadwood and Bumstain are two of the biggest liars in the country.
What a surprise. For what it's worth, I was extremely dubious of the whole Watergate business at the time it happened. I have never believed that there was any such person as Deep Throat. I couldn't help noticing that the method used by the MSM was simply to print huge, screaming, full-page headlines every day, repeating the same thing, and never really explaining what the hell Watergate was, or why Nixon was guilty of it.
Sure, he tried to cover up his recordings. But they didn't show much of anything either, other than that he used four-letter words in private conversations. Republicans tried to expose Democrat dirty tricks and got caught. Big deal. Nixon thought about misappropriating one FBI file but decided not to. Big deal. Hillary stole more than 900, and walked out the door with them in her computers.
When I was in school, one of my teachers taught me how to analyze ads and news articles for bias and suspicious manipulation of language, and I've been in the habit of doing it ever since. Unfortunately, not many people in those days suspected the news media would be so corrupt. Now it's beginning to get a little exposure to the light of day.
Ain't it the truth... I bet the teacher was pretty much a square-shooter when it came to politics too. What I saw of the Rather/Mapes/Kerry Campaign collusion beats Watergate by double-digits.
It does seem rather odd that we learn all this stuff about the MSM way past the time it all happened. I think this is one of many reasons folks don't trust those bastards, they lie about most everything, then lie to cover it all up, then lie to change the subject. Also sounds a lot like the dimocrap party bosses too! Wonder why? (sarcasm button pushed to "on" position)
I have to wonder about Woodward (if there's any truth to this line... "Woodward spends most of his life reporting. He knows everything. What’s more, he has no idea what it adds up to. " That's simply precious!
Cheers,
Lloyd
Thanks, now I have to run Norton to get Huffington goo off my pc.
