Actor Bill Murray said he realized Washington Post editor and author Bob Woodward was a lying smear artist when he read a book written by him about his longtime friend John Belushi.
The Ghostbusters star discussed his revelation on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, saying he read about five pages of Woodward’s book Wired, based on the life of Belushi, before he realized President Richard Nixon had been framed.
“I read like five pages of Wired, and I went, ‘Oh my God. They framed Nixon,’” Murray said.
He continued: “If this is what he writes about my friend that I’ve known, you know, for half of my adult life, which is completely inaccurate, talking to like, the people of the outer, outer circle, getting the story – what the hell did that could they have done to Nixon? I just felt like if he did this to my friend like this, and I acknowledge I only read five pages, but the five pages I read made me want to set fire to the whole thing.”
Watch the incredible exchange below:
“I went, ‘If he did this to Belushi, what he did in Nixon’s is probably soiled for me, too.’ I can’t, I can’t take it,” Murray added. “And I know you say, well, ‘You could have two sources and everything like that,’ but the two sources that he had, if he had them for the Wired book, were so far outside the inner circle that it was, it was criminal.”
Woodward’s 1974 book, All the President’s Men, co-authored by fellow WaPo propagandist Carl Bernstein, detailed their reporting on the Watergate scandal, which played a key role in the events leading up to President Nixon’s resignation.
Fast-forward to 2018, and Woodward is still trying to smear Republican presidents, including President Donald Trump, with books like Fear: Trump in the White House and Rage (2020). However, as Rogan points out, the disinfo has gotten easier to spot and more people are calling it out than ever before.
