Chris Lehmann says for all the talk of
Bob Woodward’s status as the “preeminent investigative reporter of his generation, he's actually joined a much older lineage of aristocratic D.C. journalist -- the obliging plier of access for access’ sake.

James Reston. Reston had repeatedly served as a messenger to his editor bosses and senior Sulzbergers on behalf of White House and senior Congressional interests." (Related Buffalo News
