After reading this article, wouldn't any sane person hate Washington? Let's recap what happened. A journalist writes a column in a major newspaper that criticizes the president. Someone on the president's staff reaches out to columnist to voice his disagreement with the column. Happens pretty regularly, in fact. But because the journalist is Bob Woodward (a bonafide member of the establishment, still riding the coattails of a 40-year old story), and journalists who cover politics are about as serious and substantial as a TMZ reporter, the whole thing is blown totally out of proportion. Witness the first paragraph of this story: The Obama administration's bitter battle with the legendary reporter Bob Woodward a BITTER BATTLE? I mean, how ridiculous is that? Is it not patently obvious that this is blown up to ridiculous degrees by a gossipy washington press corp that wants something to scream about? I mean, seriously - celebrity gossip works like this. And these are the country's supposed serious journalists. Man, are we fucked if this is our “press.” I had high hopes when Buzzfeed started a politics section. Thought it might bring something a little different to the conversation. Turns out, it's more of the same. The same Politico-infected mentality of meaningless bullshit puffed up mercilessly.
