Anyhow, media examples:
1. Perhaps the most famous piece of advice Deep Throat gave Post reporter Bob Woodward during the Watergate investigation was to “follow the money” to find out who was behind the Watergate break-in.
So, it’s not entirely surprising that pundits are asking what role money may have played in the identification of Mark Felt -- and in the financial consequences of yesterday’s disclosure for Woodward.
Boston Globe columnist Eileen McNamara questions the motives of the Felt family in confirming to Vanity Fair's John D. O'Conner that Felt was Deep Throat. She also criticizes Felt’s role in approving illegal break-ins as part of the FBI's investigation of the Weather Underground. “Felt’s commitment to the Bill of Rights in 1973 was as selective as his family’s motives in 2005 are self-serving,” writes McNamara.
In O’Conner’s Vanity Fair piece, Felt’s daughter Joan recalls discussing money with her father. “Bob Woodward’s gonna get all the glory for this, but we could make at least enough money to pay some bills, like the debt I’ve run up for the kids’ education,” Joan recalls saying. “Let’s do it for the family.”
Newsday columnist Ellis Henican notes somewhat gleefully that Bob Woodward’s income will probably suffer because of his decision not to reveal his source's name. “...a big pile of money just went flying from the legendary reporter's bank account,” Henican writes. “No one wants to buy a book from the second guys to tell you who Deep Throat is.”
