The secret is out…
W. Mark Felt is Deep Throat.
The Washington Post reports:
The confirmation came from Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the two Washington Post reporters who broke the Watergate story, and their former top editor, Benjamin C. Bradlee. The three spoke after Felt’s family and Vanity Fair magazine identified the 91-year-old Felt, now a retiree in California, as the long-anonymous source who provided crucial guidance for some of the newspaper’s groundbreaking Watergate stories.
Washington Post Confirms Felt Was ‘Deep Throat’
I agree with Bradlee, editor in chief during the Watergate years, that he’s surprised the secret kept this long! If I was a source, I would trust Woordward and Bernstein to keep my identity secret. They exemplify journalistic integrity, ethics and bravery. If only investigative journalism today was so bold.
