Bradford Richardson at the
Washington Times offers a piece on the "spotty" reputation of journalist
Michael Wolf, the author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.
This isn’t the first time
author/journalist Michael Wolff has been accused of fabricating quotes.
A caustic gossip columnist
more accustomed to taking down New York media moguls than Washington
politicians, Mr. Wolff trained his fire on President Trump and his inner circle
in “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” an incendiary tell-all that has
the president and his supporters fuming.
In excerpts from the book
given to outlets where Mr. Wolff’s byline regularly appears — The Guardian, The
Hollywood Reporter, New York magazine and the British version of GQ — the White
House is portrayed as full of disorder, backbiting and infighting.
The book, which will be
published Friday after its release date was sped up to meet heightened demand,
relies on what Mr. Wolff, 64, describes as “extensive access to the White House
and more than 200 interviews with Trump and senior staff over a period of 18
months.”
Mr. Wolff’s witty,
provocative style has earned him accolades over the years — as well as criticism
and controversy.
