Instead of sitting on this for his millionth book, Bob Woodward should have taken a lesson from that journalist who helped bring down Nixon through aggressive daily reporting of the scandal to reveal crucial information to the public

the one Redford played

I forget his name

As we grow and age, may we never become such a profound disappointment to our younger selves as I believe in my heart 2020 Bob Woodward is to 1972 Bob Woodward

It’s enough to make you switch to Team Bernstein

he may have committed the unforgivable sin of cheating on Nora Ephron but at least covering up THOSE lies didn’t kill thousands of people

Me getting this tattoo: “at least I know I won’t end up regretting having any of these on my body”

Yes because they PUBLISHED THE REPORTING, and then LATER they wrote a book about the experience of the process and how they ended up able to publish the reporting

They didn’t, like, sit on Gemstone until the end of Nixon’s second term

The only defensible argument for sitting on this information for six months while people die is if that is how long it takes you to secure and corroborate real evidence

This does not seem applicable when the president cheerfully just proclaims it right into your mic

Anyone who doesn’t think this is going straight into Rewind Files II does not know me at all

Reggie has to learn that your heroes will always disappoint you

THIS.

Maybe Trump wouldn’t have acted any differently. But WE WOULD.

The gov’t messaging was confusing at the outset and MANY people did not understand how dangerous it was until much later.

America knowing what Trump knew would have moved the needle.
