The Washington press corps has always been unwilling to upset its relations with power. Consider Watergate. The Post jumped out on that story because they had two street reporters from the burbs covering it. The NYT, by contrast, never really caught up because their Washington Bureau people were all focused on their traditional beats and sources and were ultimately unwilling to disrupt those relationships. Woodward and Bernstein were used to covering the streets. In Washington, as in Waterbury, the rule of thumb is follow the money. W&B did just that. Woodward, by the way, lost his edge long ago. The only money he follows is the trail of checks from his publisher to his bank account.
