Lew,

After reading five pages of “Wired,” Bob Woodward’s book on Bill Murray’s close friend John Belushi, Murray came to the conclusion that Woodward’s reporting on Watergate in the Washington Post played a role in framing Richard Nixon on Watergate. Murray made these comments during an interview with Joe Rogan.

Murray reportedly had words with Woodward when both recently attended a showing of a documentary about Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham. Link:

There is a growing consensus Watergate was a silent coup by the CIA and that Woodward acted as Navy intelligence to set Nixon up because the former president was going to expose the CIA’s involvement in the assassination of JFK. Link:
