How did so many people come to believe that Woodward had been in Naval Intelligence if it wasn’t true? If it was true, why would Woodward lie about it?
Did anyone catch the note in the Yale Alumni Magazine (Jan-Feb 2025) Class notes for '65 that Bob Woodward was interviewed by his classmate David Martin, CBS Pentagon reporter for many years, on 60 Minutes, Oct 13th? "Bob's closing to David, 'You know this. Being a reporter is the best job in the world.'" I didn't see it either.
Also in these notes the class dinner drew 80 classmates and guests to reconnect and hear Bob Woodward speak about the upcoming election and his latest book, War. "Bob expressed concern that should DJT win the election, he has no plan for achieving the results he has promised. Bob's talk is available on the class website.
Jon - it's worth digging into further. Shaw Ryan had a fascinating long form interview with Robert F. Kennedy. He discussed how the CIA had a stable of over 400 journalists to help create propaganda and promote narratives. This is illegal. But of course the CIA can get away with anything. I'm curious if Woodward was part of this effort.
