I’m without hesitation on Steve’s side. Simply browse for bestsellers released in the past 10-20 years, likely longer than that, and the revelations they offered. Many of those revelations might have changed a voter’s mind, or more importantly, prevented people to doubt the news!

Many of us feel this way. Especially Bob Woodward’s Book when Trump said he wanted to downplay the virus. So many of his supporters may have gone for vaccines. Maybe not but Woodward’s book was extremely informative about Trump the liar than President.

Mr. Cohen is extremely naive. There are dozens of examples others have pointed out during Trump's admin where Haberman obviously held back. It's not just about money or headlines, it was very likely about maintaining access to Trump! He was her golden goose.

Just think if Maggie had withheld something about Trump and by doing so gave more votes to him in those states where the margin was fairly small and Trump won enough electoral votes to win the election. It is irresponsible to hold back information and as it is to brush it off.

We're fighting for our democracy here. The people saying "Calm down" and "It's OK if reporters hold back critical information about a candidate" are not helping save the country as we know it.

Here's the press, helping each other sell their books. What democracy
