David Obst misses the basic point, in his claim that Bob Woodward is a " Pecksniff ," hypocrite in today's terms, because he did not share with fellow reporters what President Trump had told him about COVID-19 being worse and much more deadly that the flu, right away.
Woodward claimed he needed to verify what Trump said. Others have said he should have reported it to the "authorities."
First off, President Trump, the source of Woodward's information, is supposed to be the highest "authority" we have. So to what "authority" should Woodward have gone?
