That person should be fired.

exchanged. No threats happened. Woodward has his panties in a bunch over nothing. He's looking more and more like a vindictive arse:

""""" The aide "yelled at me for about a half hour," Woodward said, and then sent a follow-up email that read, in part: "You're focusing on a few specific trees that give a very wrong impression of the forest. But perhaps we will just not see eye to eye here. … I think you will regret staking out that claim."

Officials often threaten reporters that they will "regret" printing something that is untrue, but Woodward took the remark as a threat.""""

VERY clearly this guy has slipped into some bizarre battle against this President that has a LOT more intensity to him than it should.

take what ever Woodward claims serious these days. He is a media, you know what, seeking attention for himself. He needs to retire, because his time is over. The grownups are having an argument and he is just a distraction.

That seems to be the case. I certainly don't like the idea of the government threatening the press. But Woodward seems to be over reacting over this.

making shit up. That's our 'free' press for you. Woodward can take his place of honor next to Judith Miller, etal

if the administration decides to whack woodward's home with a drone, it could take out a good chunk of his whole neighborhood! Oh well....we can live with that - others do.

He just wants to create a controversy to sell books. He's been doing that forever.

He must have taken crying lessons from Boehner.

And that's exactly what the White House should have said. There was no threat but bobby needed a story to stay in the news. How freeking pathetic for someone who used to do such good work.

Characterized by feverish rhetoric, spewing delusions, and the resulting swelling bank account.

He's been warned. Don't complain later after the sky falls down on him.

I can't imagine there's much room left under there.

He's been searching for the next Watergate for 40 years and he's never going to find it.

Look at which person has more to lose.

The man is in the business of exposing wrong-doing. And even Democrats can be venal, crooked, or compromised.

He 'Co-authored' the Watergate scandal in the early 70's, and has been milking it ever since.

Woodward is a loony. There was no threat.

Even the rightwing loony press is backing away now.

I for one am loving it. Couldn't happen to a more deserving Iraq war cheerleader.

and Obama's most revered libertarian critic (you know who) says Woodward is out to lunch here. This will, no doubt, do to Woodward, what's been done to Dick Morris, who has fallen out of favor with the right. They got suckered, and I love it.

Looks like you were the one made to look venal.

It is so sad to watch as Woodward falls from a lofty position as truth seeker to the lowly status of press personality.
