[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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...[/quote]
