Fallen Hero

by digby

Here’s a very nice essay by Will Bunch about Woodward and what he meant to a generation of reporters. I didn’t become a journalist like he did, but I became a political junkie, watching the Watergate hearings that summer so long ago. I too was a Watergate geek — and Woodstein were my heroes.

I haven’t revered Woodward in a long time. And I still mourn the loss of my youthful faith in what Woodstein stood for — that the truth will out. Woodmill (hat tip to my pal) has been the sad reality ever since.
