So has Bob Woodward completely sold out to the right?

[One of the 99]

Saw him on Morning Joke this morning slaming the President, completely agreeing with Joey.

I thought he was a fair journalist but he now comes across as a FAUX News hack.

1. he sold out a long time ago

2. He gave up a long time ago

he's now just a writer, hasn't been a journalist for years, and he'll sell out to whoever will put up for the next book.

3. He's NEVER been a 'fair journalist' - he's a longtime loyalist to Poppy Bush.

It's believed that Bush arranged for Woodward (Navy intel man officer planted at WaPost) to be fed the story on Watergate so PTB could rid itself of Nixon sooner rather than later. Nixon wasn't as keen on global fascism as Bush and his cronies.

Remember: Woodward pushed the idea of IranContra and BCCI as non-stories, and unworthy of pursuit.

5. Woodward has always been a right-winger

everybody thinks he is/was liberal because he was played by noted Hollywood liberal Robert Redford, and he played a part in bringing down a Republican president.

6. Woodward has always been a Republican

And has been rumoured to be a long-term CIA asset, as well.

7. This is so predictable.. so yeah he's full of shit.
