Show of hands: To you, does Michael Wolff come off as credible and reliable on air?

[lindysalsagal]

Now that we're hearing from him in interviews, I find him totally believable and professional. What say DU?

[fierywoman]

1. Yes.

[BumRushDaShow]

2. I'm on chapter 6 of the book

He has a very good / engaging narrative style (pretty much associated with the typical long-form magazine articles) that keeps things interesting and the reader wanting to continue reading. I heard audio clips of him from the Today Show and he is a typical run-of-the-mill investigative journalist.

10. Just bought it, thanks for the info! nt

[FakeNoose]

3. Just started reading (today)

I believe Wolff has meeting notes and audiotapes to back up everything he has written. The reason I say that is, publishers are extremely on edge over lawsuits and libel suits these days. I'm sure everything was checked out and approved by corporate lawyers before they agreed to publish. If it couldn't be proved, they took it out before the book was printed.

Wolff may not be the best writer around, but he does know how to cover his tracks, and he's been a reporter/journalist for many years.

[MFM008]

4. yes

.................

[bluestarone]

5. yes

without a doubt

[Little Star]

6. I agree!

[secondwind]

7. YES

[DesertRat]

8. Yes. nt

[Motley13]

9. the moron's mouth gives him away

keep tweeting
regurgitating words. you disgusting POS

[triron]

11. yep

[oxbow]

13. Yes. Check out his interview on NPR (all things considered )

He comes across pretty well in that interview. I was delighted to find that my friend had purchased a copy of the book for me on audible, so I’m off to listen to it now!

[trof]

12. Way more credible than his subject.

[Kirk Lover]

14. Absolutely. Plus, when the subject is so upset about the contents then that

makes me think that this is all oh so true.

[underpants]

15. Pretty good but I must say very well dressed

It's noticeable that he has good taste in clothes.

[GusBob]

16. I think he is a bit of a huckster, and why not?

He had access to the greatest circus-freak side show in modern times

He lucked out into a golden goose opportunity, and having an easy target, an eager audience, and media savvy, he can now be the ring master

In a bit of a caveat, he has had reviewers chide him for accuracy and fabrication. In addition, in the hall of mirrors in a house full of liars, it would be wise to exercise a tad bit of circumspection regarding his sources.

I predict, based on his success, there will be copycats

And perhaps corroboration of his work. I think Omerosa is spending heaps of time with a ghostvwriter itching to cash in.

[Roland99]

17. Listening to the audiobook he really uses some not-oft-used words and verbiage

Like he’s trying to show off his vocabulary

But he’s very detail oriented and able to read between the lines

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Yes, he has used quite a few of what I call "SAT (test) words"

[Anny61]

18. From the very little I have heard, he sounds credible. The hair pull-up at least makes sense.

Finally a reasonable explanation to his hair. Though I generally do not care about this kind of stuff, I have been fascinated with Trumps "to-do' trying to figure out what was up.

[mnmoderatedem]

19. yes he does indeed but

I really hope he's not pulling everyone's chain with his claims of having incriminating tapes to back up his accusations. I tend to believe he's doing a bit of a rope a dope, making his claims, painting trumpie into a corner, having Huckleberry claim everyone is lying except trump, then, bam!, come the corroborating tapes. Of course, trump will claim the tapes are altered/fake, and his 35% of his trained monkey voting base will scratch themselves and grunt their approval, but the point will be made.

That's the most plausible scenario I can see. Hope I'm right.

[Iahotdog]

21. Seems pretty credible to me.

[highplainsdem]

22. Yes.

[bdamomma]

23. I would believe

Mr Wolff before ever listening to that POS tRump.
