    Good question.
    I was wondering the same thing scrolling through posts until coming upon yours.

    Woodward isn't even remotely close to being the same thing. Woodward remains on the masthead of the WaPo in a ceremonial way. They benefit from having his name associated with them as much as he benefits from keeping the association to whatever extent it helps sell his books. But the WaPo is not his main gig, and he's not on the mast because he really does much work for them. He writes books for a living. Of course any of his reporting about Trump was for a book, not for the WaPo.

    Disagree. If he is associated with the publication in any way, shape or form, it is his obligation as a newsman to report it or pass it along to someone who will. News is news.

    I am certain that the WaPo doesn't see him having the obligation to them that you think he does. And neither does he, obviously.

    When that Trump thing was actually a thing, the argument was more along the lines of, "he could have saved lives if he had told people that Trump was downplaying the virus earlier."

    I don't know if that is true, but you are taking that whole thing a step beyond that to suggest that the WaPo has a claim on everything he ever does as long as the two have agreed to keep him connected to the paper because it's mutually beneficial.

    I see your point, but if a newsperson sits on news, they are no longer a newsperson and should disassociate from the publication.
    People not as smart as you who read the WaPo see his name and think we works there.

    The Post is fine with the arrangement. Woodward is fine with the arrangement. He’s not a journalist in the true sense of the word anymore and he hasn’t been for decades.

    Also, about the argument he could’ve saved lives: no. Stupids were going to do what they were going to do.

    Writing for the Washington Post…Karen Crouse!

    or something like that. She’ll land somewhere good

    I think Crouse had no choice but to resign.

    Still, this thread speaks well of her:
