Woodward says Post reporters had 'lack of curiosity' about criticism of Steele dossier

Veteran journalist Bob Woodward revealed in a new interview that Washington Post reporters essentially ignored his warnings about the shortcomings of the infamous Christopher Steele dossier, amidst the feverish Russiagate media coverage that dominated the Trump administration.

"Bob Woodward, of the Post, told me that news coverage of the Russia inquiry ‘wasn’t handled well’ and that he thought viewers and readers had been 'cheated.' He urged newsrooms to 'walk down the painful road of introspection,'" Gerth wrote.

OMG that ****ing lying POS!!! He was right there banging with that gang, and tweeing the most ridiculous accusations.

I hope he dies and burns in Hell, I really do.

You can tell who he sides with because we have no Biden book. There's plenty to talk about with Biden.

Like any lefty is capable of "introspection".

Bob Woodward says WaPo reporters ignored his Steele dossier warnings: report​

Woodward was among those interviewed for a lengthy Columbia Journalism Review report published this week about the media’s handling of the unproven allegations that Trump colluded with Russia amid the 2016 election.

In the interview, the 79-year-old reporter — famous for breaking the Nixon White House scandal for the outlet in the early ’70s — recalled how he was quick to slam the largely-discredited Trump dossier when it was first published in 2017.

Woodward had dismissed the files, which were funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, as a “garbage document” during a January 2017 Fox News appearance.

He then reached out to unnamed Washington Post reporters — but claims they had no interest in his harsh criticism, according to the CJR report.
