The hypocrisy is thick.
Like others of the MSM, the Washington Post never bothered to investigate then-presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama, Democrat.
But the paper is deploying a battalion of reporters, including associate editor Bob Woodward of Watergate fame, with the marching order to investigate “every facet” of presumptive Republican prez candidate Donald Trump’s life.
Paul Bedard reports for the Washington Examiner that yesterday, May 11, 2016, Woodward told a convention of the National Association of Realtors in Washington, D.C., that, urged on by new owner Jeff Bezos, WaPo has assigned 20 staffers to investigate Trump. In addition the paper plans a book.
Jeff Bezos is the founder and CEO of Amazon.com.
Woodward said, “There’s a lot we don’t know. We have 20 people working on Trump, we’re going to do a book, we’re doing articles about every phase of his life.”
The paper has already begun its anal examination of Trump with several Trump stories yesterday, including a deep dig into his sex talk on radio host Howard Stern’s show. Woodward, who has interviewed Trump, said that he has begun looking into Trump’s New York real estate deals: “The New York real estate world is more complex than the CIA.”
Woodward said that Bezos has urged WaPo to run as many stories on Trump and the other candidates so that voters can’t say they didn’t know about the eventual president: “He [Bezos] said, ‘Look the job at the Washington Post has to be tell us everything about who the eventual nominee will be in both parties, 15 part, 16 part series, 20 part series, we want to look at every part of their lives and we’re never going get the whole story of course but we can get the best attainable.”
And yet, in 2008 and 2012, the Washington Post failed to “tell us everything about” Barack Obama. Nor will the paper “tell us everything about” presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Showing his blatant partisanship and a grievous lack of the objectivity that is supposed to inform journalists, Woodward dismissed suggestions that Hillary Clinton, while she as secretary of state, had used a personal email server to distribute classified information. He told the convention of realtors: “I don’t think anyone feels that there was intent on her part to distribute classified information in a way that was illegal or jeopardized security.”
Hey, Woodward! You must be one of those professionals being paid from that secret $1 million fund to troll for Hillary ’cause even a lowly no-name blog called Fellowship of the Minds knows Hillary’s emails contained classified info. We even managed to write and publish SIX posts on this, and at no pay! See:
- Shocker, not: Hillary’s emails contained America’s top secrets
- More than 15 per cent of the Hillary Clinton’s emails released on Saturday were deemed ‘confidential’ while three were labeled ‘secret’
- Bombshell: Hillary’s unsecured emails contained names of CIA spies
- Shocker, not: Hillary’s emails contained America’s top secrets
- Shocker, not: Hillary’s team copied intel off top-secret server to email
- Whatdoyaknow: Hillary’s server emails were actually ‘top secret,’ intelligence review finds
Writing in his for-subscribers-only Wayne Madsen Report, independent investigative reporter Wayne Madsen has a message for Bob Woodward:
Woodward may want to steer clear of digging up personal dirt on Trump. WMR, in doing some digging on Woodward, discovered that “Mr. Anti-Conspiracy Theory” has a brother back in suburban Chicago. Our Chicago source, who knows the Woodward family, has told us that Woodward’s brother firmly believes that extraterrestrial creatures are real. Not only are they real but they walk among us disguised as humans! Perhaps Woodward and Hillary Clinton, who has just vowed to make public the government’s secret files on “unexplained aerial phenomena,” which she prefers over UFOs (unidentified flying objects), can hold a joint news conference on the identities of the aliens in our midst who masquerade as humans.
Perhaps when Woodward was interviewing a comatose CIA director William Casey during the height of the Iran-contra scandal, aliens were channeling Mr. Casey’s thoughts directly to Woodward. Now, about those “conspiracy theories” again, Mr. Woodward?
