Watergate was a true story

that’s the difference

in those days, the Post at least tried to include some truthful elements in what it published

alas, those days appear to be long, long past

Nixon broke laws and deserved the reports that were written about him.

Trump has broken no laws. Hillary has. Maybe Trump considered the WP reportage each of them has received.

What’s Woodward’s point, that he isn’t going to be able to screw Trump the way he screwed Nixon? Boo. Hoo.

>>But will it be used against him to say he is thin skinned?

Yes it will. So what? If he was perfect, they’d still make up stuff. Read the news:

A random white guy walked into a gay bar and shot everyone with his 700 round per minute high-powered death ray assault rifle. We have no way of knowing why he did it, but it is possible that America’s severe homophobia problem and companies like Chik-Fil-A drove him to do it. Since it was Latin Night, it is likely that Donald Trump’s vile hatred of the Hispanic-Americans who built our country and today provide 150% of the food you eat caused the shooter to target the venue.

Anyone who has a healthy distrust of the American media is just a person who isn’t stupid.

NOBODY who’s gonna vote for Trump reads the Wa Post, NY times, Gawker or Salon anyway.

It's about time someone kicked the political propagandists out on their asses! They are NOT journalists; they are communist party hacks.

Legendary reporter Bob Woodward says Donald Trump is taking a harsher stance against The Washington Post than even President Nixon did during the Watergate scandal.

Nixon resigned in disgrace. Perhaps there was some truth in the Washington Post reporting.

Today the Washington Post has nothing but hit pieces and dishonest reporting aimed specifically to discredit Trump. Is that not so?

Trump just said at the NC rally that the Post was there, but not allowed to sit in the plush, press section.

He didn’t care maple tell “ban” them, he didn’t censor them, he just moved them from first class to “tourist”.

And, the deserved it.

Because...Alinsky. They count on us abiding by our own rules. Trump has obviously read Alinsky and is willing to take the fight to the enemy. The moral high ground is the place where conservatism went to die two decades ago. Trump’s not perfect, but he’s willing to fight to get us survivors off that damned hill and back on the offense, fighting the fight that we find ourselves in and not the fight we wish we had.

In Death Ground, Fight.

“Trump is a private citizen. He has the right to limit access by newspapers that will not report honestly.”

He doesn’t even have to give a reason why he doesn’t want to give a particular person access. He could tell me that I am not to attend his rallies (his private event), even though I am a big supporter of his. These media heads have shown how entitled they have become.

pretty rich whining coming from WaPo the toilet paper that assigned 20+ “reporters” to dissect Trump while giving Shrillary an easy pass over so many years

get a clue, Woodstein, real Americans are asking why the WaPo does not devote adequate attention to Shrillary’s scandals, worse than Watergate!!!!

Oh for crying out loud, Washington Post, get over it...

So your scum and you print lies and propaganda and anything else you can find, and you wrote this crap about the wrong person...

Go soak your butts in some cold water, and everything will be fine...we don’t have to read your crap anymore, the only sad thing is, I don’t have more ‘fish wrap’ for my fish bones or bird cage liner or dog crate liner...dang!!!

The Washington Post is in a tizzy. Kathleen Parker is on the attack as well. They just don't understand that newspapers have lost their relevance as they say that, we the unwashed, don't understand the importance of newspapers.

These people are blinded by their own arrogance and self-importance.

good enough. I really dont think someone would NOT vote for him because of this.

I’ll be nervous about every move until he’s declared the winner in Nov.

can’t help it :)

No, but Hillary did get FIRED for lying and unethical behavior during that investigation.

Good old Dan Rather set the stage for equal treatment of political apparatchiks calling themselves journalists!

Me too. If he was running a conventional campaign, all these missteps would matter and I’d be freaking out. Honestly, as a nation, we are screwed if he does not win. Any other outcome has to end in civil war or complete slavery for the American people. People sense this and they know that the media is an agent of the Enemy (yes THAT Enemy—the god of Progressives and islum). No one will pull a lever for HIllary unless they are a true believer in the chaos of Satan.
