ELON, NC- Journalist Bob Woodward spoke to the Elon University community last Thursday with the notion to make sure the candidate you cast a ballot for, is the right one.
The infamous Pulitzer Prize winner and dedicated reporter for the Washington post was glorified for his astonishing work when uncovering the Watergate Scandal of the early 1970s. As well as familiarizing himself in the world of journalism. One of Woodward’s key points in his address to Elon stressed the importance that neither candidate can be trusted, which makes this particular election, unlike any other, one for the ages. “Being President has to do with being outside of yourself,” said Woodward. “Both (Trump and Clinton) are two unknowns through their track records.” Woodward reiterated that especially in this election, one must be mindful of the adversaries and consequences for electing either Trump or Clinton. Both candidates have a “shaky” resume of untrustworthiness and skepticism, in terms of both political presence and non-political presence. “We will continue to repeat and find the necessary truth,” said Woodward. “Not only as a reporter, but understanding the mistakes and when something really is wrong.” Woodward referenced the untruthfulness of President Nixon in the Watergate Scandal, and how shocked the American people of the United States really were at the time. To bring down the most powerful man in the country, for one solemn lie that was revealed. Woodward ended his address with a simple yet important message, that whoever reigns in the 2016 Presidency will have a lot of work to do. However, when casting your ballot, be mindful of who you are really electing to rule your country.
