Woodward In A Nutshell

The real rap on Woodward isn’t that he makes things up. It’s that he takes what powerful people tell him at face value; that his accounts are shaped by who coöperates with him and who doesn’t; and that they lack context, critical awareness, and, ultimately, historic meaning.

Being a Hannity regular won't be enough. I have lost all respect for Woodward as a reporter and a person. Sorry I ever gave him a pass for his cushy reporting about the Bush administration.
