The internet often combines the worst aspects of the Tower of Babel and the Library of Alexandria in that it’s often hard to search out objective truth amidst smoldering, unsorted chaos intermixed with invective spewed from a fire hydrant the size of the Olympus Mons. One great exception is baseball, where there is a surfeit of old footage available that can validate the greatness that accrued […]
Legendary journalist Bob Woodward expressed extreme concern on Tuesday night over his belief that President Donald Trump can’t tell the difference between reality and fiction, prompting CNN anchor Anderson Cooper to say that is “pretty terrifying.” Appearing for an hour-long interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 to discuss more eye-popping details from his new Trump blockbuster Rage, Woodward talked about one conversation he had with the […]
The hits keep coming from Rage author Bob Woodward, who premiered a new exclusive audio recording of President Donald Trump admitting behind closed doors how dangerous he knew the coronavirus to be long before he started taking it remotely seriously in public. “Bob, it’s so easily transmissible, you wouldn’t even believe it,” Trump can be heard saying on the tape, which Woodward recorded on April 13th, […]
By Nauman Sadiq for VT Islamabad Besides the admission that Trump knew coronavirus was deadly yet he deliberately downplayed the outbreak, Bob Woodward has made several other startling revelations [1] in his book “Rage” set to be released on September 15.

If you are a Republican, legendary journalist Bob Woodward—and the media as a whole—is the “enemy,” Meghan McCain declared on Thursday. As The View’s lone Republican panelist, McCain weighed in on President Donald Trump’s bombshell admission to Woodward that he intentionally downplayed the coronavirus threat even though he knew in early February that the virus was airborne, highly contagious, and deadlier than “strenuous flus.” Her main […]
Bob Woodward, the famed Washington Post journalist who reported on the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, was one of the first to publish a tell-all book on the Trump White House, with books of this type turning into an entire cottage industry and raking in hundreds of millions of dollars for authors and publishers. US President Donald Trump willingly sought to downplay the dangers posed […]

Bob Dylan is a heavyweight champion. Five stars aren’t enough for his new album, Rough and Rowdy Ways. The album, released Friday, is a masterpiece, and a masterclass in lyric-writing in league with Dylan’s—and therefore anyone’s—best. While vaguely mining the same musical landscape Dylan has explored since 2001’s Love & Theft—a sort of modern day juke joint mixture of pre- and post-rock and roll swing—Dylan is […]

Before the Demo-2 mission, only one American crew vehicle had ever carried astronauts to the International Space Station, the Space Shuttle. On Sunday, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon became the second. Dragon Endeavour has completed the first half of her round trip mission to the space station. Spacecraft Commander Doug Hurley and Joint Operations Commander Bob Behnken have “Captured the Flag” as the first crew to reach the […]
On Saturday, May 30, Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken became the first astronauts to launch to orbit from the United States in almost nine years. Demo-2 was the first crewed launch for SpaceX, and the culmination of a decade of hard work in NASA’s Commercial Crew program. 20 years ago, Hurley and Behnken were just Bugs. That was the nickname given to the NASA Astronaut class […]
