books.
#1, even if there is something worthwhile in it, it'll be on the news before its even released.
#2, if it wasn't, then you will know it, the second it gets released.
so you're gonna read an entire book for a few bits of real info that will already be on the news before you get to that point in the book?
too much work

Oh well. Enjoy I guess. I've never purchased a political hit piece book from anyone, on either side. It's the principle of the thing. I'm sure Ann Coulter savaged Obama in who knows how many books, or Michael Savage, or Mark Levin. I actually have a book by Levin because it's interesting and not really a hitpiece but intellectual/ideological in nature.
But I stay away from those who seek to profit attacking individuals.

You are comparing Bob Woodward to Anne Coulter, Mark Levin
Sep 17, 2020, 3:11 PM
|
|
and Mark Savage? Not even close.
As for a hit piece, Trump has said he was eager to have Woodward write a book about him, so much so that he spoke with him 18 times, many of those calls originated by Donald Trump and over 9 hours of TRump interviews.
Sorry, but your comparisons hold no water.

I'm agreeing that a positive book at this time could be considered opportunist and that just because it is opportunist doesn't mean the information is fake.

One of two things is logically required to be true.
Sep 17, 2020, 4:23 PM
|

Bob Woodward places his own wealth over innocent lives.
or
Bob doesn't really believe that his Covid "Scoop" means what he purports it to mean at present.
There is no other explanation for the logical disconnect in his words and his actions.

His words are crystal clear, and if he truly believes what he is saying, it's amazing that he's been able to compartmentalize the failure to Trump alone while he sat on these tapes and did nothing. If he thinks that people died because Trump downplayed the severity of the virus, then he's a willing accomplice for sitting on them.
Journalist Bob Woodward on Wednesday said that President Trump’s downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic was a “monumental, catastrophic leadership failure.”
“If he’d been honest and shared the truth in some form, we would be in a completely different position now,” Woodward said. “It is a monumental, catastrophic leadership failure.”
“I think it’s one of the most historic moments in the Oval Office when a crisis is laid out, and the president doesn’t level with the American people,” Woodward told MSNBC. “And it’s absolutely tragic. It’s tragic for Donald Trump, for the country, for the 190,000 plus people who have died.”

i mean he is literally citing 8 hours of interviews with trump, who BTW dug his own grave on this one. I am still scratching my head as to why he would conduct phone interviews with the guy that took down Nixon. It is like he really really wants to lose this election.

What makes you think Woodward did that? Did Trump not agree to the interview?
You know, Woodward has a pretty good track record of reporting both sides thoroughly. He's not in the same league as the people you listed.
I kinda think a right wing media source just lied to ya and said it was a hit piece.
