BOB WOODWARD:A 'Very Senior' White House Person Warned Me I'd 'Regret' What I'm Doing

[workerbee]

Wrong thread. In fact wrong thread group. Maybe the MODS can help you.

That's a no. To bad.

Apparently you have a reading comprehension problem. Soulflower nor myself never called MSNBC balanced. You made that up, period. They will occasionally have Republicans on the show. Why any Republican would go onto MSNBC and get his arse kicked, I haven't a clue.

Ok So they're less balanced. Way to deflect the point!

Fox has lefties on it's shows although they usually get pilloried here as Uncle Toms etc...

BTW-Usually, when I read some of the posts here...like yours, I can't stop laughing! I'll try to pay more attention between laughs. Thanks

That's alright I usually get a kick out of your posts as well. You, Commander Sageking, Jeebie, and dunderheads alike are always good for a laugh.

Where did Geraldo Rivera go? Or Combs? Guess they couldn't hang with the big dogs.

Perhaps your need to insult others comes from other shortcomings that shouldn't be discussed here!

Where did Geraldo Rivera go? Or Combs? Guess they couldn't hang with the big dogs.

Geraldo is currently considering a Senate run in New Jersey as a Republican. Combs was always the ugly liberal punching bag of Hannity. I believe he has a radio program; but who cares?

Anonymous Source Informs Bob Woodward He Hasn't Been Relevant In 40 Years


WASHINGTON—Investigative journalist Bob Woodward announced Thursday that he’s received credible information from an anonymous source confirming that Woodward hasn’t been a relevant force in American journalism in 40 years. “Though I cannot divulge his name, I can tell you that he’s an extremely reliable, high-level government source, and thus far everything he’s told me about how I’m no longer a salient or even particularly respected journalistic figure completely checks out,” Woodward told reporters, describing a late-night parking garage rendezvous in which the Washington Post editor was purportedly told to “follow the writing.”

“My source assured me that once I read my careless reporting on the Iraq war, my exaggerated interviews, and my exploitative and inaccurate account of the recent sequestration situation, it would be abundantly clear that my influence in the field has substantially waned since Watergate. And he’s right. It’s all true.” Woodward then accidentally revealed that his source’s name was White House Communications Director Daniel Pfeiffer, which prompted the journalist to murmur, “*******it, Bob, you’ve really lost it,” under his breath.

It's when those Pulitzer Prize reporters start uncovering facts uncomfortable for "your guys", that their talents disappear. Hmmm.

Why can't you just admit its wrong for the WH to threaten journalists? You know, build some credibility and the like.

The honest thing would be for you to admit that you've been bamboozled again:

But I do truly believe you should rethink your comment about saying that Potus asking for revenues is moving the goal post. I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim.

Some Depends are in order for peeing his panties over that comment.

"Woodward, almost 70, is Washington’s Reporter Emeritus. His facts stand up to scrutiny. His motivations withstand the test of objectivity. Sperling obviously assumed that Woodward wouldn’t take offense at the suggestion that he not only was wrong but was also endangering his valuable proximity to power.

He assumed, in other words, that Woodward would not do his job. This was an oversight.

This is no tempest in a teapot but rather the leak in the dike. Drip by drip, the Obama administration has demonstrated its intolerance for dissent and its contempt for any who stray from the White House script. Yes, all administrations are sensitive to criticism, and all push back when such criticism is deemed unfair or inaccurate. But no president since Richard Nixon has demonstrated such overt contempt for the messenger. And, thanks to technological advances in social media, Obama has been able to bypass traditional watchdogs as no other president has."

Parker nailed it.

[Sprightly]

And more importantly:

"More to the point, the Obama White House is, to put it politely, fudging as it tries to place the onus of the sequester on Congress. And, as has become customary, officials are using the Woodward spat to distract attention. As Woodward put it: “This is the old trick . . . of making the press . . . the issue, rather than what the White House has done here.”

Killing the messenger is a time-honored method of controlling the message, but we have already spilled that blood. And the First Amendment’s protection of a free press, the purpose of which is to check power and constrain government’s ability to dictate the lives of private citizens, was no accident."

That is a great opinion piece and you are right Sprightly -- Parker nailed it.
