The best part of the Woodward story is

It now puts to rest idea there isn't media bias. No, not because Bob Woodward has taken on the White House and the White House has pushed back. Interesting, though, isn't it, that the horrible, culture destroying sequester was the White House's idea afterall.

But back to Woodward. As soon as the news hit late yesterday that someone in the WH screamed at him for half an hour and then told him he'd regret it if he went public with the story, other journalists jumped in to belitle him. It was astounding actually, I mean, this is Bob Woodward, a journalistic icon, someone all these other reporters wanted to be some day.

Well, they didn't make it, instead they became part of the Greek chorus for everything Obama, no curiousity, not tough questions on anything. Take the morning WH talking points and run with them. The first talking point came last night and went something like this:

Make Bob Woodward look old, senile and past his prime. He was once great but now is just an old loony.

Then, someone at Talking Points Memo tried to make Woodward into a birther. 

This morning it's "oh for pete's sake, every WH has torn into reporters getting too close to a story, this is nothing. 

I'm old enough to remember when reporters took a breaking story like this and tore into it with no holds barred and would not let go. Now we have reporters who instinctively turn their head away or go after the bearer of bad news. 

The new journalistic code is see no story, hear no story, tell no story..if it makes Obama look less than the perfect man they want us to see.

This is so infuriating, but in the end, Americans never have and never will, adore one person or one party forever. Eventually all the adoration tarnishes.

Looks like Obama is going into paranoid mode.
I'll bet even Rand will chime in and join the chorus exclaiming Woodward to be a senile and out of touch. Maybe, just maybe, the MSM is finally had enough of Obama.

Here is another guy the Obama folks are trying to kneecap.

Lanny Davis, who served under President Bill Clinton as special counsel to the White House, told Washington, D.C.'s WMAL this morning that the Obama White House had threatened the Washington Times over his column, warning that the Times would suffer limited access to White House officials and might have its White House credentials revoked..

[Rand]

Obama's not the first Prez to take a shot at Woodward: President Ronald Reagan wrote: "[Woodward]'s a liar and he lied about what Casey is supposed to have thought of me."

And is Reagan still adored?

[Ron]

Glad to see Rand cleared up the question about Woodward being a liar. Maybe, he was lying about Nixon all along!!! Just knew Rand couldn't accept Woodward dare challenge Obama. I guess, we will have to wait, while Rand hunts for a quote from one of the Clinton's bashing Lanny Davis, as a liar.

The worst part of this entire story is how Woodward got hit by today's media people. That is the big difference between the Nixon and others who Woodward did tell-all books on. The media loved him for it and harped and harped on it.
