Bob Woodward
From Conservapedia
Robert ("Bob") Woodward (b. 1943) is assistant managing editor of the liberal Washington Post. He is best known for investigative reporting about the Watergate scandal that contributed to liberal efforts to force Richard Nixon out of the presidency.
Woodward is also known for writing about a dozen non-fiction books, many of which have been best-sellers. He wrote The Brethren, an unprecedented exposé of internal workings at the Supreme Court in the late 1960s and early 1970s as apparently told by clerks who violated their duty of confidentiality. The book embarrassed the Court, and reportedly angered Chief Justice Warren Burger.
Woodward wrote a glowing review of Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart's 1985 book The Double Man. But a few years later the Washington Post played a central role in forcing Gary Hart out of the 1988 presidential race:[1]
- The Washington Post reported today that Gary Hart decided to withdraw from the Presidential campaign hours after the newspaper presented a top campaign official with "documented evidence of a recent liaison between Hart and a Washington woman."
Another candidate who enjoyed greater support by the liberal media, Michael Dukakis, was then able to win the Democratic nomination, but he subsequently lost in the general election to President George H.W. Bush.
