Slublog on Bob Woodward

Washed-Up Hack Urges Media "Aggression"

Woodward and Bernstein's stories on Watergate are terrible reporting, full of thin or anonymous sourcing. There's a clear connection between W&B's reporting and the neo-muckraking journalism of today. W&B made it easy for anyone who wants to dish dirt on a political figure to do so, as long as they hide behind titles like "a senior administration official," or "someone close to the intelligence community."
