Bob Woodward strikes back!

Wednesday, September 9, 2020

Like a rehash of the Star Wars movies when Darth Vader has his short time victory, the Democrats have called on one media’s patron saints to help save the election.

Bob Woodward is part of the Abbott and Costello journalist team who came to fame in the Watergate investigation when they worked with remnants of the Kennedy clan to help bring down President Richard Nixon.

To understand the dynamic behind Watergate, you have to understand that the paper’s publisher, Graham was in bed with Democrats, the paper’s editor, Ben Bradlee had helped leak information to the Kennedy Administration during his time as Newsweek editor, and at least some of the sources feeding the dynamic duo were connected with Kenney lawyers at that time representing Dean – the man who orchestrated the Watergate coverup.

Woodward has always been a political stooge – and a questionable journalist, going so far as to invent whole chapters about the underground garage and moveable flowerpot in his Watergate years, later to pen book after book of which the accuracy was often questioned.

Woodward is notorious for getting stuff wrong – taking information and twisting it into things that aren’t true – a perfect icon to the modern journalist in an era when misinformation has become an art form.

Democrats bring out Woodward each time they need to bring in the big guns.

Last week, the Democrats dragged out Carl Bernstein to help save a fake story in The Atlantic. This week, they are dragging Woodward out of mothballs in order to save their failing Covid-19 narrative.

Woodward claimed the Trump tried to play down COVID-19 and knew that there could be as many as 200,000 deaths.

Of course, at the time, the CDC was projecting possible American deaths in a range from 200,000 to 1.7 million – figures that had media going crazy with overhyping the virus and clearly creating a panic in the United States that had even the most stout-hearted hiding under their beds.

It is hard to tell whether or not Trump intended to down play the virus total deaths because media was so over playing, or whether like many of us, we didn’t see COVID-19 as the black plague media was playing it to be. In truth, statistically, the 1969 pandemic was far worse as far as U.S. deaths.

Media needs Woodward to get the country to blame Trump for the deaths rather than the Democratic governors who sent many senior citizens to their deaths and failed to provide protection to the most vulnerable people.

The president plays never little role in these things since most of the struggle in on a state level, where state Departments of Health are responsible for the response. Indeed, Obama and Biden thought so little of the 2009 pandemic they waited nine months to declare a state of emergency, and only after the virus has spread to 46 states.

I wonder where Woodward was for that one.

Bringing out Woodward is about as believable as The Atlantic story. Even if the information Woodward is providing us is true, the fact is the burden of health is on the governors of the states in whose hands the medical operations actually transpired.

But Woodward being Woodward evokes the Watergate – which is the Democratic wet dream when they managed to do to Nixon what they are desperate to do to Trump.

The problem is Woodward is no longer believable. Too many people have shown how sloppy his work is and he no longer has the same kind of audience he once had, even though the WOKE crowd is likely to believe anything the Washington Post prints.

Democrats in their frenzy to find another Russian conspiracy to hang on the shoulders of Trump have basically created one more dirty trick, hiding it under the questionable reputation of a has-been reporter, and hoping that Woodward’s status in sainthood will convince the public that he is telling the truth this time, when it is clear he never has in the past.
