Daily Caller: Longtime journalist Bob Woodward’s best-selling new book, “Fear,” presents a scathing depiction of President Donald Trump and his ability to perform his duties as commander-in-chief.
While senior Trump officials including Secretary of Defense James Mattis have denied quotations attributed to them in the book, media coverage of “Fear” has been largely positive, emphasizing the 75-year-old Woodward’s experience and trustworthiness.
But that coverage has left out part of the story: repeated, credible charges — including from well-respected fellow journalists — that in previous books Woodward embellished the truth, made dubious bombshell claims or was otherwise misleading.
Woodward’s former editor at the Washington Post, Ben Bradlee, though publicly complimentary of Woodward, privately doubted some of the more dramatic elements of Woodward and Carl Bernstein’s Watergate-era bestseller, “All The President’s Men.”
Bradlee and Woodward’s former assistant at the Post, Jeff Himmelman, revealed Bradlee’s nagging doubts in a 2012 biography of the longtime editor.
Bradlee gave Himmelman full access to his files, which revealed that details about Woodward’s relationship with infamous Watergate source “Deep Throat” gnawed at Bradlee years later. Details such as Woodward communicating with Deep Throat by placing a flag in a potted plant on his balcony, or their dozens of shadowy garage meetings.
“You know I have a little problem with Deep Throat,” Bradlee said to an assistant in a 1990 interview that he originally intended to use for a memoir but which remained private until Himmelman published his book.
“Did that potted [plant] incident ever happen? … and meeting in some garage. One meeting in the garage? Fifty meetings in the garage? I don’t know how many meetings in the garage … There’s a residual fear in my soul that that isn’t quite straight.” read more
Looking back, we now recognize Woodward and Bernstein as the first Fake News Deep State assassins. May they rot in hell.
The one about him getting past CIA Director Casey’s 24/7 security at the hospital to get a deathbed confession always seemed to prove the point that he was a master at prevarication and mythology.
Where was this brilliant investigative journalist during the eight years of the Osmidgen Administration?
old globalist
they must have a lot to lose with trump putting the hammer down
don’t listen or watch the reality tv news shows starring the actors and actresses posing as new anchors
and do not buy their books
nixon as well as jfk were direct threats to the cabal
that is why they were illiminated
imho
Woodward and Bernstein. Two of America’s most deplorable “urnalists”.
Woodward and Bernstein in the past kept saying that nothing could rise to the level of criminality of Watergate. They totally ignored real crime of the Kenyan’s regime, but, now, Woodward is trying to regain his fame and glory by repeating the destruction of a republican President.
I assumed his partner in crime, Carl Bernstein, was dead, but looked him up and he is listed as being alive and 74 years old.
Wonder why he hasn’t included old Carl in this scam.
Woodward and Bernstein: Democrat hacks. Democrat political assassins.
At least Bernstein has gone so far off the rails it is obvious to most people.
Woodward still present himself as an unbiased truth seeker. But he only seeks truths and untruths that damage Republicans.
Nixon was damn near 50 years ago. Talk about resting on your laurels.
Complete trash.
Bernstein is still angry that they cast a pretty good actor, but butt homely, to portray him and Woodward is still angry that they cast a terrible actor, but a pretty boy, to portray him in their fantasy epic!
Redford isn’t such a pretty boy now. Hasn’t aged well.
