Politics Bob Woodward's new book...

[yankeesince59]

Speaking of Russian bots...

...he can talk himself into anything.

Some time back not sure how many years, I enjoyed watching Brit Hume get pissed at Woodward on a TV panel show. Brit ripped Woodward a new posterior. Not sure he ever found a new place to use it.

The transcript of the call between Trump and Woodward is hilarious.

Right!?! Fucking comedy.

MFs are STEALING MEMOS off the presidents desk so this fucking dementia patient doesn't do something stupid...

Jesus...

You didn't say negative things about Woodard after Nixon did you?

Kindly pipe down now...

 

[dviss1]

I love how folks come in here with fresh bullshit talking points.

2020? Yeah... No...

 

[MarAzul]

You didn't say negative things about Woodard after Nixon did you?

Ha! No, I knew nothing of him. He jumped to hero in one day. Since then he has been very slowly working his way down the slope. It was a pleasure to see Hume jerk his arse off the slope. Now this tripe.

Hey, that reminds me. When Obama goes to his final reward, do you want to see the Flag flown at half mast?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hmm, a few thoughts.

I am not a Woodward fan. He peaked with his reporting on Nixon and has been trying to repeat over the past several decades. Obviously a liberal that has seldom had anything nice to say about a GOP President.

Have you read any of Woodwards stuff? There is a reason that he has written a bunch, but most can only name one. To say the guy is a leftist hack is unkind to leftists and to hacks as well.

And how many Pulitzers have you won? Woodward hasn't won one... he's won two.

Arguing with the righties here has gotten downright boring. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. All you can say is 'it's not true!!!' I get it, facts have become your enemy, but jeez, try and marshal a few now and then.

The transcript of the call between Trump and Woodward is hilarious.

barfo

He contradicts himself in the same sentence when he mentioned that Senator Graham had told him that Woodward had tried to contact him before writing the book and then without taking a breathe says that this was the first he had heard of Woodward trying to contact him prior to writing the book. He's a pathological liar.

One of his attorneys said that if he testified, he'd be wearing an orange jump suit.

General Kelly told him they needed to support S. Korea to avoid WWIII when Trump threatened to pull out of S. Korea. The general also told him that our presence in S. Korea meant a 15 minute advance notice before impact from a N. Korean nuclear missile rather than a 15 second notice. He said it rather bluntly.

General Mattis described him as having the understanding of a fifth or sixth grader.

MAGA - Morons Are Governing America

 

[Lanny]

Wow, you really jumped to a conclusion here. The President found out that Woodward was in fact not going to be complimentary.

Of course the writer said it would be based on fact, what else was he going to say. "Oh, no, its a bunch of half backed horseshit"???

Have you read any of Woodwards stuff? There is a reason that he has written a bunch, but most can only name one. To say the guy is a leftist hack is unkind to leftists and to hacks as well.

Woodward leans neither Left nor Right. He's a renowned journalist.

 

[Lanny]

We only have about 50 people close to the white house now saying the administration is dysfunctional and Trump is incapable....when is the last time 20 tell all books were written within a year and a half of an election? Clown town! Getting elected by insult and twitter apparently doesn't set much precedent for a new administration..yet it's the only play in his playbook...talk about a house of cards...time for an easy chair and some popcorn

Clown Town sums it up precisely.

 

[Lanny]

As to the sentence in question, he obviously had it mentioned to him, though in a grander scheme of things, I would think that demands of the White House would have far more importance than remembering some mention of a request by a writer that publicly criticizes every move you make.

So far, every move Trump has made is worthy of criticism. Based on extensive past behavior, I don't expect that to change.

 

[yankeesince59]

Well at least Trump is consistent about Woodward. [rolls eyes]

Do you get the talking points sent by email, text, or book face?

...Fox and Friends.

Much respect my friend, but I have to disagree with you here.

The only book that was reasonable was All The Presidents Men. The only book that he wrote that was favorable towards a sitting President or someone he deemed should have been president , (Quayle ) have all been Dems.

The only recent book he wrote worth not being butt wipe is the one he did on Greenspan, hmm Maestro. Still had a lot of left stilted thinking, but some nice insight

 

[yankeesince59]

...^^^Woodward has won virtually every major award there is for journalism.

As stated already, 90 percent were because of Watergate.

If I remember correctly, the two books he did that received any acclaim were a collaboration with Bernstein.

Lastly, liberals awarding liberals?? And that is supposed to be a qualification? No thanks, I will read and decide for my self, as I have done.

...not sure where you get your info from but what makes you think his awards are all liberal awards?...sorry, that's simply not true.

...neither is your assertion that "90%" of his awards were because of Watergate?...that's not true either....his awards range from 1972 to 2012.

Woodward at the National Press Club in 2002
Woodward himself has been a recipient of nearly every major American journalism award, including the Heywood Broun award (1972), Worth Bingham Prize for Investigative Reporting (1972 and 1986), Sigma Delta Chi Award (1973), George Polk Award (1972), William Allen WhiteMedal (2000), and the Gerald R. Ford Prize for Reporting on the Presidency (2002). In 2012, Colby College presented Woodward with the Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award for courageous journalism as well as an honorary doctorate.[10]

Woodward has authored or co-authored 18 nonfiction books in the past 35 years. All 18 have been national bestsellers and 12 of them have been No. 1 national nonfiction bestsellers—more No. 1 national nonfiction bestsellers than any contemporary author.

You may not have enjoyed all his books, but it appears plenty did to put 18 of 18 as best sellers.

Here you go, if you read through this you will see that, what , 6 or 7 books are directly related to Watergate,

Although not a recipient in his own right, Woodward made crucial contributions to two Pulitzer Prizes won by The Washington Post. First, he and Bernstein were the lead reporters on Watergate and the Post won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 1973.[8] He was also the main reporter for the Post's coverage of the September 11 attacks in 2001. The Post won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for 10 of its stories on the subject.[9]


And are you really going to try and say that the media is not liberal?

Dude, it has been an accepted fact for decades.

Hmm,, I have read roughly half of them. He has had a few that I enjoyed, but the others were stinkers. Just curious, how many of his have you read?

Dude, he has had 18, that's 18 FRICKEN best sellers and 12 that were number 1. The Post won those Pulitzers because of Bernstein and Woodward. Is it that hard for you to give credit to someone that may or may not view things differently than your pro Trump agenda.

Mourning sunshine!

I am only giving opinion on what he has written that I have read.

Irrelevant. Apparently according to the records, Woodward has been a very successful author. Dems da facts
