[@Asehpe]

Woodward is really a great journalist, and a man who makes every effort to check the truth. I'm glad he did this book.

[@Asehpe]

No. He is one of the best political authors of our generation, along with being clealry one of the best journalists. All you need to do is review his career. You're just pretending to be blind, is all.

[@xy6845]

Asephe he had to hurry up though, because u never know how long this president will last in office ^^ Normally Woodward works methodic, with great patience going into details, but I bet he had quite the rush by his standards to get it done by now ^^ Because I believe this WH is pretty insanely complex compared to previous admins and that takes much research I would imagine

[@gacj2010]

Yes .... THe Truth of anonymous people and the entire cabinet came out calling Woodward BASICALLY >>>>>>>>>>>>A LIAR

[@Asehpe]

They're wrong. Woodward is clearly more used to telling the truth than any of them.

[@Asehpe]

X Y -- you're right. Still, his book will be useful to historians in the future, so that people can finally understand this dysfunctional period in the American presidency.

[@RobbieBackpacking]

Woodward is one of the best in the game. Trump can cry fake news all he wants, but the truth is being dug up by REAL journalists.

[@MultiOMFG1]

Which is exactly why it's his mission to discredit ALL journalists as liars. "Trust no one, especially when they speak against me". It pisses me off to no end that people wanted Trump to run because "it would be 'funny'." This isn't funny and it never was.

Please excuse my following question, I am from the other side of the pond: What is your definition of an American hero? I heard that they say it about McCain. He risked his life for the USA, so I can understand that. But Woodward didn't or am I wrong?! The reason why I am asking is, I really don't know the definition. And before I have read your comments, thought I would.

[@warpedjaffas1]

The most important thing in Bob Woodward's life is his integrity and he's putting it on the line. That should not be ignored.

[@xy6845]

How is he putting it on the line? plz explain

[@warpedjaffas1]

Sure, Woodward is not going to jeopardize his life's work or career as a journalist/author by fabricating things. He's written 19 books and won 2 Pulitzer Prizes. He isn't silly enough to risk his credibility on anyone, least of all Trump. He wants to write about the 46th, 47th, 48th and maybe even the 50th President if he's capable. His integrity is the most precious thing to him. Nobody wants to buy a book from a known liar or fabricator. Woodward knows this.

Agreed! While I think that John Oliver is great, his show relies a lot on the writing. Colbert's show has great writers too, but I feel like Colbert himself has to do a lot more heavy lifting (you can't plan ahead for everything that happens in the interviews, etc.). No offense to John Oliver at all, but he has a lot less "interaction" in his role as host that's reading from a teleprompter for 20-something minutes.

[@HappyBirthday0707]

We need more of this man, give journalists more time & money to do detailed jobs like this.

[@NewMessage]

".. You don't just Google them.." And that's 95% of Twitter 'Journalists' out.

[@ithemba]

as he says, it has to do with time, which is a very precious resource for journalists. He just has the freaking resources to take his time and do the ground work and actually get the freaking obscure paper from the 80s via mail by a university library from new mexico and read it beforehand a interview. He probably could not do that if the would not be freaking Bob Woodward, who probably gets all the money upfront for a book by his publisher that he asks for and then some. "Oh you need 200.000 Dollar so you can hire research assistants for 10 months? No problem, there you go." Try that when your employer is a newspaper. Or even try that with a big freaking publisher if you yourself are anything but Bob Woodward, a former US President or maybe Stephen King.

[@huhulili9021]

That's not even what most mainstream media do, Fox , CNN, ABC, some articles are not accurate

[@ithemba]

@Donna Willams haven't read it yet, but I know about it - it's what I am talking about. The book was written in the 70s -thats literally prehistoric times when it comes to news. Back then, there were what? 3 national news cycles a week? It's no coincidence that "the best and the bravest"also came out back then. Now it's 2 newscycles a day while subscribership numbers and therefore budgets are a fraction of what they got back than - and TV "news" without any actual reporting cashes in on it by secondhand reporting on every actual story written by actual reporters and making big bucks. You just can't compare it. Even today there are a lot of reporters who actually write well researched books, once they got the kind of mojo you need to get the funding for something like that. Take Farrow's war on peace.

[@likebot.]

Huhu Lili, you may rightly consider Fox, CNN and ABC as Mainstream Media *_technically,_* but that does not make them journalists. My opinion about most corporate or sponsored organizations is that they physically can't be un-biased, and that takes the journalism out of it. They pander to the money and the "news" personalities are concerned only with their fame, sex appeal, popularity and personal power.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

@Donna Willams was it in the 70's or 80's that journalism turned into infotainment ? I'm 61 do I remember too . Kinda.

Awesome how all of trump’s handlers kept Woodward away from him. ( like Kellyanne proved on that recorded phone call. ) Proves how messed up this administration really is. Woodward is genius.

[@dafttool]

S P The genius part was he knew to release that tape first, where it showed Trump acknowledging his respect for Woodward & that he tried to speak with Trump, but was repeatedly denied. It cut the legs right out from under him from the get go, so when Trump trash talked him, we already heard him kissing up to Woodward. And it exposed Trump’s lies about the denied meeting, that he actually did know about the attempts to meet, but did nothing to make it happen

[@brocksamson3282]

trump intentionally didn't meet him, because Woodward seeks out the truth. trump was giving excuses for not meeting--he had the opportunity.

[@gacj2010]

Well they seemed to all call him a liar ...even the military honorable around Trump ...So you believe the anonymous sources if you chose ... I want to hear who said what or was it voices in an old demented mans head

S P dude they didn't want Trump to testify because they knew he couldn't help but perjure himself! How insane is that! What kind of fucking president can't even testify under oath without the people around him legitimately freaking out because the guy is incapable of saying the truth.

@@ridinrancher9443 Do you know why she needed to do that act specifically in that movie? Her anatomical defect, I guess?

Woodward comes from the land of Wodehouse. Great writing ethic. So nice to witness in real time. Thank you

[@Cinnabar_and_Chalcanthite]

Omg, this man is like a slow moving machine of death.... thank god he isn't in charge of POWs... they'd spill everything to him. You're waiting and waiting for him to get to the point, finish the sentence and by the time that happens your already collapsed in his coils... what freaking brilliant man and with so much class and personal integrity. I am so glad he wrote this book!

The only sad thing is that this wonderful book will be obsolete next week as the lunacy continues.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

Truth cannot be obsolete.

How has our nation fallen so low to elect this charlatan strong man? The sooner he’s gone, the sooner we can start the long, hard road of recovery from all the damage.

They ought to start making more bob woodwards

[@sixstanger00]

Pretty sad when the description of events/people in Woodward's book sounds like descriptions of scenes/characters in a work of fiction. What a circus this administration has been.

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Book sales massively increased by the Stephen Colbert fearword at the beginning.

[@CapnBlood]

What is Stephen's point in asking if Bob would lie or essentially black-mail a source by excluding them in exchange for good material on others. 8:21 And then mistakenly accusing Bob of lying before taking it back. What do you have to hide Stephen or is it just knee-jerk after hoping "you're guy" Les Moonves was innocent? ;P

[@saitamatrash2527]

ntblood wtf bro

[@hnk2227]

ntblood - So much winning for you MAGATS! hahahahaha!!!

[@mancharia]

Well, Stephen is notoriously "annoyed" by the Trump administration. Therefore he needs to ask "tough questions" so noone can call him biased. He also gives Woodward a podium to refute any concerns about the legitimacy.

[@jacobblack6707]

Trump 2020!

Love Bob Woodward. He's an old hand, can't fool him.

This is a MASTERCLASS of a lesson on journalistic writing.
