Uh Oh! Looks Like Bob Woodward Will Have A Few Regrets
Okay, so this happened:
Longtime Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward is taking on the White House, saying in multiple interviews that the administration essentially threatened him to try to get him not to write a story.
[…]
“I mean, it makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters, ‘you’re going to regret doing something that you believe in.’” Woodward said. “And even though we don’t look at it that way, you do look at it that way. And I think if Barack Obama knew that was part of the communication’s strategy — let’s hope it’s not a strategy, but it’s a tactic that somebody’s employed, and said, look, we don’t go around trying to say to reporters, if you, in an honest way, present something we don’t like, that, you know, you’re going to regret this. And just — it’s Mickey Mouse.”
And then all hell broke loose… especially on the Right.
And then the emails came to light.
And then came the regrets…
“Looks like we were played,” The Daily Caller’s Matt Lewis wrote Thursday morning.
Erick Erickson tweets: Ok wow. Finally read the email to Woodward. I must now move to the “not a threat” camp.
Brit Hume tweets: On one hand, only Woodward can say if he felt threatened by WH email. On the other, hard to imagine feeling threatened by Gene Sperling.
