Bob Woodward on "Deep Throat"




"If we are going to define the news as what the government says publicly and what people say publicly we are not going to get at whats really going on. "
--- Bob Woodward

Last week, Mark Felt, who was better known as "Deep Throat" to Americans for close to thirty years, passed away at the age of ninety-five. Felt was the confidential source for Bob Woodward's watergate reporting for the Washington Post. NPR chose to rerun an interview with Woodward from 2005. Woodward discussed his relationship with "deep throat", as well as the government's response to his reporting.
