The Factor pursued the media vs. Trump angle with Washington Post editor Bob Woodward. "This was not one of the New York Times' best stories," Woodward conceded, "but we are all better off because the Times is investigating and reporting on both candidates. The public is smarter than we think - they can read a story like the Times story and see people come forward and say their words were twisted." Woodward also defended the Times decision to assign a self-proclaimed feminist to the Trump story. "Being a feminist doesn't condemn someone and say they can't report on X or Y. The best reporters can filter out their personal emotions, and there are all kind of feminists on the left and the right." The Factor urged Woodward, "You have to assign reporters who are as unbiased as they can be."
