Op, your link doesn't work....

I found the OP's link:

http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2013/03/bob_woodward_and_gene_sperling_what_woodward_s_john_belushi_book_can_tell.html

But I don't agree with the article. The writer is suggesting that his experience with the Belushi biography caused him to identify a tendency of Woodward to get the facts right but mangle the interpretation to the point of creating a false reality.

I think this is a huge stretch and frankly I do not see why people seem so bent on taking down a good reporter's reputation for the sins of one email exchange. Who cares, he said she said, it's just one email exchange. It neither proves the White House's sinister desire to control the media, nor does it invalidate Woodward's life's work.

Let it go, people. I'm sure Woodward and his WH contact have kissed and made up by now.

Such is Chicago bully politics and those that serve it.

Yes Bob has so many sources at the white house. LOL why do you think he went after them? B/c he does not have any "ins" at the white house. Typical fox conservative.

He should have retired many years ago. But, DC is great at keeping old men employed well beyond there time.

oh please the GOP did the same thing to the guy most of his career from Watergate to the Casey interview. Reagan called him a liar over that. Direct quote.

Other journalists are coming forward with similar stories about the Obama Administration. Seems to be a pattern.

everything is a pattern to wingnuts. The only pattern is that the press always has tensions with the White House.

Not sure why you've got a hard-on for Woodward, but he's a hack, and always has been a hack.

He's the apotheosis of the "royal court stenographer" school of journalism...

Interesting that you point out another person's obsession with Woodward....might want to find a mirror.
