Have you heard how Fox is spinning Woodward's disclosures?

[Edwcraig]

This morning , the winner of the propagandist of the year award goes to Fox News who are spinning this that the Covid deaths are Bob Woodward's fault because he did not tell us sooner that Trump was lying. And the Republican's will just say amen. You can't make this stuff up.

1. Well, Woodward should certainly have said something, just sayin'....n/t

[underpants]

2. I read that bullshit here yesterday on DU

They also went with EVERYONE WAS DOING IT

4. and the dems had an effing PLAN repubs plan, DEATH

3. Woodward

should have come forward sooner but it doesn't excuse the Republicans

8. All these 'claiming should haves' by DU: Woodward, bolton, mueller; etc.

- tend to ignore the importance of political timing and getting effective results.

Speaker Pelosi likely has information that she is going to use at an effective time. Some Dems would scream and spill the beans prematurely if they could.

9. Woodward indicated the reason he didn't do it was because he needed to confirm the validity what

trump was telling him, due to trump’s history of exaggeration and lying

10. good point

although, if every person who knew the truth about trump starting 4+ years ago (until today) came forward there would be
different outcomes...

timing and political expediency... potential loss of job, death threats, etc. are all excuses... but, as the meme goes, "If you see something, say something"

thousands of lives could have been saved, we could have preserved our standing in the world, the environment would have been better cared for, the rise in White Nationalism would be tempered, and on and on...

we are in serious trouble as a Country and I wish more people would had come forward sooner... many more than Bob Woodward

14. That is what I understand Woodward is saying

[still_one]

15. Your last point is so true

[Dustlawyer]

12. But he knew that publicly Trump was saying the opposite to the American people at

that time. He knew what the scientists were saying about the virus at that time as well. I call BS!

5. Some here at DU aren't helping.

Feeding that same narrative.

[empedocles]

6. Yesterday, they read a Woodward finding and let lying Meadows respond to each at length

[handmade34]

11. not in this case...

"the buck stops with trump" is a poor excuse for all who let this continue... trump is too damaged, too mentally unfit to have been put in the position he is in

[LisaL]

13. What I know is that I didn't believe anything Trump said publicly.

And neither should have anyone with a brain.

16. Fox & Friends: Trump lying about pandemic is like FDR wanting to 'calm America' with fireside chats
