Woodward has been getting away with this for years and years.

Yes he has -- because he has been allowed to. There is no excuse for this.

Agreed. this is sickening behavior by people who use their newsrooms for personal gain.

"Sickening" is the word for it.

Why didn't he report that when he interviewed Trump on 5 Mar 2020, Trump knew COVID was airborne and deadly.

Woodward used to be a respected name, no more.

Weren’t there others that knew about the Covid tests being sent to Putin? They could have come forward as well…

Anyway, I’m not buying Woodward’s book either

I haven't bought a Woodward Book since he Carl Bernstein wrote their Earehate Tome.

For this very reason I won't buy anything Haberman or Woodward write. They could have made a difference more than once but chose not to.

Woodward again AND Maggie Haberman?! They should both be ashamed of themselves. The fate of the whole free world is at stake, and they're putting out promos?!!

Not sure if it is clear that I was addressing @dearlstephens with my previous comment, if not, I was!

Thanks for this article. I am amazed that Miss Haberman wrote an article about the five reasons that Trump chose Madison Square Gardens for his rally. Incredibly, the fact that it had been the venue for the 1930s Nazi rally didn’t appear on her list. How is that even possible?

I’m slow and not catching on to the significance of Trump sending Covid tests to Putin. Do you mean new tests for Putin’s personal use? Do you mean tests for Putin’s scientists and doctors to confirm? Or do you mean large supplies of tests for Russians? Or maybe just for his buddies?

You are not slow, you are asking really great questions and I wonder the same thing, and when exactly he shared them. These details matter as to just how mad I’m going to get at Woodward!

Thanks!

“They are taking our money to sit on the news.” That is so despicable.

What does Woodward think… that he’s going to tip the election with his revelations? He would have done more good by exposing Trump’s Secret Covid when he found out. Maybe Trump wouldn’t be running for office this time if he had done his job!

A missed opportunity for DOJ to do their work. Thanks, Bob… you failed us.

Woodward has been getting away with it for years. And it is no irony that he became the first celebrity journalist after All the President’s Men. And this wretched business model is on steroids now.

I felt revulsion when Woodward came out with another book because I knew it would contain some “bombshell” about Donald Trump. The MSM just lapped it up. Woodward is still capitalizing on his Watergate fame. And he’s not done writing books. He’s lost his way and for what? The limelight for a week or so? These attention grabbers are not journalists and they’re playing dangerous game. I won’t buy their books.

"If you are sitting on major news now to stuff in some book later, who are you really benefiting? The readers, or yourself?"

Option 3: Kamala Harris's campaign.

Fuck Maggie Haberman and fuck Bob Woodward. Maybe they can fuck one another with their won- ton saggy bodies.
