Woodward woes
Reporter didn't do enough digging

-snip-

So how come Woodward, supposedly the preeminent investigative reporter of our time, missed the biggest story of our time — a story that was taking place right under his nose?

Some would say it's because he's carrying water for the Bushies. I disagree. I think it's because he's the dumb blonde of American journalism, so awed by his proximity to power that he buys whatever he's being sold.

-snip-

And far from shying away from his reputation as a stenographer to the political stars, Woodward has embraced his inner bimbo and wears his "scrupulous passivity" as a badge of honor, proudly telling Larry King that his "method" means that "everyone in the end... pretty much gets their point of view out."

Thanks to reporting like this, the sum total of the abundant facts Woodward always gives us is actually less than its parts. Instead of the truth, we get these shiny baubles of information. Shiny baubles that distract us, diminish our understanding of what is really going on, and — as the lies that led us into war are revealed — ultimately delay our discovery of what's really hidden in the bottom of the barrel.

I don't think the termite is a dumb blonde, I think he is a traitor

1. Ha! Embracing his inner bimbo...Arianna can turn a phrase can't she?

Thanks for posting, I agree it's not that he's dim and corrupt, it's that he's a traitor, a bushbot from the get go.
