Fox News doesn't have an advance copy of Woodward's book. Anyone want to bet the other networks do? At a minimum, CNN, as Woodward often appears there. I'm only hearing some bits of the interview audio but these "bombshells" are what we knew already. I don't get the overreaction.
We're getting what Trump critics see as the most important bits of information from these audio clips, and they aren't revelatory. At least what I've heard so far. Are we so plugged in that even the press is running with non-news as news?
There's an argument to be made to what extent downplaying a thread to prevent panic, is lying or dishonesty, or lack of transparency. The problems we had is from the beginning with C19 was it's over-politicization, and it's been a moving target ever since.
And people make the argument Trump shouldn't be taking interviews with Bob Woodward. I think that's wrong. The president should take interviews with people across the political spectrum. Not just from Fox News, OANN. If it wasn't Woodward, it would be another leftist journo.
There's very few fair, balanced, journos who will give every president the same benefit as the other, and until such time as the national political press is dominated by those types, nearly every interview will go to a DNC or RNC leaning interviewer, with an agenda. Deal with it.
