Not WHO is Deep Throat, But IS Deep Throat.

Did Woodward and Bernstein, the reporters that brought down Nixon and wrote "All The President's Men", work with a character named Deep Throat or did they create the character for the book and screenplay?

Not to take anything that reporters from Fox News state as fact, but Eric Burns, a news analyst for Fox stated that one of his sources shared the same publisher with the duo who and swears the first draft didn’t mention the D.T. character. Their literary agent corroborated that fact in his memoirs “Too Good to Be Forgotten.” (Nice title for you memoirs, what a narcissist).

I'm sure there are endless investigations that show how implausible their methods were for interacting with the character, but the fact that Woodward's New York Times was delivered in a pile with several others in the lobby of his building would have made it impossible for D.T. to write the meeting times on page 20 of HIS paper.

While the truth about the D.T. character is unclear the "follow the money" advice that he gives is good and, I think, has totally made Greg Palast's career as an investigative reporter.
