Gossip or Gospel?

Or -- Why I won't be reading Bob Woodward's new book.

I have seen him interviewed over and over, on four different broadcasts or more, and I think his views are not objective.

A couple of "for instances"-He states that Obama "still blames Bush" etc -- my view is that naming who is responsible for the war and economic disasters that Obama inherited is not "blaming" - it is a factual statement.

Also Woodward's conclusion that because Obama is commander-in-chief that "it" is Obama's war - strikes me as a pejorative position in choosing to report it as such. Such yellow journalism has become fashionable because it "sells" -- which seems to have become Woodward's singular goal.

Who is Woodward's continuing WH mole? It seems a lot of what is reported to be in the book is second hand (hearsay?) opinions garnered from someone that has loyalties not to Obama but to Woodward.


Thus my questioning as to how believable the allegations in the book are when compared to other reports from the oval office.

I'll take a pass, thank you.
