Bob Woodward Interview: The Power of Persistence in Journalism

[@lmansur1000]

What a create interview with Bob Woodward. Very wise and down-to-earth!

[@mannymoseley4005]

Thank you for posting this informative, entertaining video. I'm so impressed with Bob Woodward his journalism and with him as a man of great integrity. Thank God for him, all journalist should be as concerned as conscientious as he. Thank you Bob Woodward for clean honest reporting. God bless you and your wife and your family.

[@lifestoriesinterviews]

Of course, thank you for watching! If you found this conversation engaging, we highly recommend our interview with Carl Bernstein, Woodward’s fellow Watergate reporter. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWPUdpmAfc2YpZo

Mr. Woodward is so interesting. I could listen to him for hours

[@lifestoriesinterviews]

We were impressed as well!

[@skyerichards4906]

Courage and Truth! Such important values to have when you are the transmitter of important information. Thanks to Bob Woodward and all the real media people that don't shy away from the dangers and challenges or get bought off. I am so appreciative there are people I can trust.

[@martinhousemuse]

LOL, ask Gary Webb what happens when you are a REAL whistle blower.

[@christinefarrell166]

This man is an amazingly flawed human being. .I could listen to him for hours, thank you for everything you do to shine the light in the darkness

[@Athenaikos]

He is good. Both a good journalist and a storyteller.

[@markgarrett3647]

And don't forget a navy officer who used to work at the Pentagon and has access to it's most classified areas before he joined the WaPo.

Wow. What an amazing interview. I was a tiny kid when Watergate happened but I remember it, and I remember Nixons resignation. I of course didn't understand it, so this interview is so illuminating. What a journalist.

[@markgarrett3647]

He should also tell us about his juicy experiences at Pentagon and the White House as a naval officer.

[@lorihayes1419]

I hope there are still investigative journalists out there who care as much about uncovering the truth and are as passionate about the critical importance of a free press as Bob Woodward is. He should be coaching young journalists, teaching his particular brand of in depth journalism. The pace and the current climate puts pressure on journalists and that often diminishes the finished product and that’s a real shame, a disservice to the public and must be unfulfilling to journalists who wish they we’re under that kind of pressure and want to be allowed to reach.

[@bubity100]

Even though we hear trump say things to this journalist about crimes he committed they still cant find proof to indict him

[@HouseholdDog]

He wasn't a journalist, he was a CIA plant.

Hope he is not the last, but just one of the great guardians of the truth.

[@dhx7749]

Brilliant. Captivating. But Honest.👏👏👏

[@lifestoriesinterviews]

We agree!

[@Finnigan9]

Bob Woodward is right up there with Edward R. Murrow and "Murrow's Boys", the "Cream of the Crop" in broadcast journalism. Thank you Bob!

[@anthonysilva5312]

“What the fuck are you doing?!” Lol. I could watch that part all day.

[@ramel79]

The 2 takeaways from me : 1) one characteristic that rarely is seen this day, self-awareness ( Bob is quite humble about his shortcomings in recognizing his mistakes, his lack of understanding certain parts of the profession in his early years. 2) We are living in fast moving, where the best things that happened to humanity (tech and internet) may be the start of its own demise. Even with good investigative reporting being alive and well how do we respond to it. Do we have public servants in powerful offices who are upstanding and responsible enough to show respect to the people they serve? ! What we see these days is defiance and doubling-down regardless how damning the story is !!!

[@CharanCarson]

Bob Woodward hunted his stories like a birddog hunts his prey...He was and still is Brilliant! He is a fascinating Gentleman...

[@suehowie152]

Very interesting and wise man..

[@January.]

UNFORTUNATELY, there are very few people left in this country who have the intellect, morals, and common sense to care and understand the words of Bob Woodward.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

A pro! Decent, intelligent, and good at his job.

Thank You Carl just for being you!

[@jaslady22]

When a nation is in peril, is in crisis, it takes a common citizen to shout (at the president) to make him listen! Thank You Bob Woodward, for listening and putting it in words on paper! Documentation, truth in being there! Thank you! We are all shouting to lock Trump up, but, I'll be kinder: send him to a monastery and let them shave his beloved hair, make him vow to silence and make him pray! Yep, I'm that cruel!

[@oliviersergerie2761]

Wow great interview! But hard to follow in interview! I have to speed up the speed to 1.5 to get very interested 😆

[@GlobalDrifter1000]

Nixon didn’t get it. He was saying he wouldn’t hate those who hounded him from office.

[@ArulPalanisamy]

Useful.....

[@MRVISTA-wz7vj]

Who ever recorded this should learn more about volume levels

[@risingsons6336]

Ben Bradlee’s leadership was essential for Woodward and Bernstein to perform their responsibilities as journalists. Compare that with the “leadership” at CBS when dealing with Katherine Herridge. We are nowhere near the level of moral courage in news media today.

[@dunotrustistrue5565]

So as Jack Nicholson said in a few good men. "You couldn't handle the truth."

[@nandi123]

His admission at 1:50 of moral failing to protect a child does not exonerate him. Nothing excuses this.

All I can say is you'd better be persistent, journalists. And not for fame.

[@tootsla1252]

@@Mr---mr4ll We are totally in agreement about Trump. It is astounding that he still has the R party by the balls. Unbelievable!

[@sharonthorstenson7683]

@@tootsla1252 That’s what it is, trump thought he had ‘em by the balls, because they’re all in on the corrupt Jim Crow tactics! Now, it’s biting them all in the butt! It’s too bad all the noise of the disinformation has muddied the waters throughout this time! We must hold them all accountable and not just slap on the wrists. We the people must stand United, make our voices heard, by rebuking the corrupt politicians and the corrupt tactics they have been practicing, Enough is enough! The ‘purging /removing-of Mail-in Ballots’ in Red states, the Georgia’s 11,870, Trump’s infamous telephone call, which has led & been under investigation. Well, those happened to be ‘Mail in ballots that were actually removed/purged’ by the Georgia GQP) from the counted’ Final tally in the elections!!! Trumps infamous telephone call with both Georgia Officials, Trump was trying to get them to find the 11,870 Votes, everybody thought he was inventing things! Well, come to find out, those 11,870 Georgia votes were actually ‘purged/removed Mail-in Ballots’ Then, Trump went on to the other Red States, also trying to reclaim ‘purged/Mail-in Ballots’ which were also purged/removed, but the GQP knew, that if they were to bring these purged/removed mail in ballots out, their secret would be the end of them! You know what’s even just as disturbing, as all of this,……. Is that all of the belligerent lies that Trump has continued to tell, and still is at it, falsely pointing blame, he has been Reversing the roles of his doing’s, being the Offender with the Victims being the Democrats/Biden! Plus, between him, Fox Network, and the corrupt GQP, also guilty of reversing the roles of the real offender, Trump, thus, blaming the Democrats/Biden, the real victim’s, thus, poisoning the minds of the people not only in America- but people throughout the world!!! My next concern, Also, now knowing that Fox network had full knowledge of Trump being full of shit, but that they had made the decision, (a huge mistake to continue) show after show, knowing full well that they were broadcasting Trump’s lies, all in vain, because they were worried about their ratings, losing their viewers to newsmax. How despicable, Didn’t it ever occur to Fox network, that their moral failure, and gross negligence, that despite that they all knew the truth, but they didn’t care, making such an immoral decision for their ratings, ‘brand’ was more important. But, didn’t they realize the consequences of the irreparable harm done throughout the world! I certainly hope that Fox network is sued and forced to be taken off the air! We don’t need a network that lies to u, nor do we need Trump running for President! He’s obviously a complete failure and definitely cannot be trusted! Murdoch and his moderators are all guilty of promoting and peddling the lies, despite they knew the truth, they failed to realize the irresponsible harm they would cause our democracy, or that the gullible viewers who would believe the lies! The division and hate driven by the extremists, divided the American people, and throughout the world, all because Fox Network promoted and peddled Trump’s lies! I am willing to bet, there’s a silent third party who’s wanted nothing more, than for America to be destroyed from within, our adversary, Putin. Shame on Fox News! I’ve never been a fan of Fox News, thank God! However, I’m thinking back to the 2016, election, in regard to my Facebook page, there were about 7 people who were friends on my Facebook account, I had thought they were my friends and family, decent people, knowledgeable, I thought. They kept blowing up my page with their trump, trump, rhetoric, telling me to stop drinking the koolaid, etc., etc., Finally, I blocked all of them, including my aunt! Yea, it hurt me, but, I knew deep inside, Trump was a narcissistic liar, bully, masogynistic, sexist’s, rapists, con artist, and definitely not who he claimed to be, Oh, and based on just the lies we knew then have been spot on! Lastly, How is America going to first of all, acknowledge and accept this revelation? Especially all these trump supporters And, How is America going to recover and heal from this God awful complex corruption, it’s way worst than watergate! As, I mentioned above, I’m willing to bet that our biggest adverse enemy, has everything to do with this all along! Russias stated, that they will destroy America from within. If this isn’t destroying America from within, I don’t know what is! Brace yourselves Dems, God help us!

[@williamanthony9090]

He's a pompous maroon who only understands the truth as he sees it through his particular lens. That's failing enough in any one person, but he's in the unique position to try to peddle that "truth" as fact. He may think of himself as some guardian of Democracy, but the interests he serves are one fraction or another of the elite's. The highlight of his life was the Watergate scandal, and he's spent the remainder of his lifetime trying to recapture that brief glory. Like most old men of his generation, it's time for him to go. People in their eighties have no business taking active roles in the lives of others. They should be retired at 70---Whatever their profession---PERIOD!

@@sandrabarney285 EXACTLY! Sorry to say, it's time for the Donald to go as well. If he really wants to be remembered by history, he should barnstorm the country trying to convince voters to impose term limits on politicians. Five terms for congressmen, and three for senators, is more than fair. It's going to take a constitutional amendment to get it done, however. Politicians will never approve term limits themselves. We could unofficially call it the "Trump Amendment," and I swear if it actually becomes law, they'll be naming high schools for Trump... Lol. As for 2024, the Republicans should run DeSantis or Haley, and the Dems should run ANYONE but Biden!
