Did Dale Lindsborg write an article about a Sept 7 interview with Barack Obama on Meet the Press?
No. This is another internet myth. President Obama was not on Meet the Press that day, and there is no Dale Lindsborg (who is usually said to work for the Washington Post-- but the Post has no such reporter). Further, the myth claims the president said on that day that he doesn't (pick one) salute the flag or sing the national anthem. Both claims are false, and the president never said either thing. The first time the president was on Meet the Press was on December 7th, 2008, after he was elected; he was interviewed by Tom Brokaw. They talked about the economy, the recent election, and what he hoped to achieve as president.

What role did the Washington post play in revealing the Watergate scandal?
'The connection between the break-in and the re-election campaign committee was highlighted by media coverage. In particular, investigative coverage byTime, The New York Times, and especially The Washington Post, fueled focus on the event. The coverage dramatically increased publicity and consequent political repercussions. Relying heavily upon anonymous sources, Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered information suggesting that knowledge of the break-in, and attempts to cover it up, led deep into the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and even the White House.
Chief among the Post's anonymous sources was an individual they had nicknamed Deep Throat (who was later revealed in 2005 to be former Deputy Director of the FBI William Mark Felt, Sr.) It was the informant 'Deep Throat' who met secretly with Woodward, and told him of Howard Hunt's involvement with the Watergate break-in, and that the rest of the White House staff regarded the stake in Watergate extremely high.
'Deep Throat' also warned Woodward that the FBI wanted to know where he and the other reporters were getting the information which was uncovering even a wider web of crimes than first disclosed. In one of their last meetings, all of which took place at an underground parking garage somewhere in Washington DC at 2:00 AM, Deep Throat cautioned Woodward that he might be followed and not to trust their phone conversations.'
Conclusion: The media played a massive role in almost impeaching one of the most powerful men in the World and most certainly the roles played by 'Post' reporters Woodward and Bernstein were instrumental in forcing President Nixon to resign...

Did Dale Lindsborg work for Washington Post?
No, this is another internet myth. The Washington Post has no such employee. (He is usually cited when another internet myth about President Obama is quoted, the one that claims the president was on Meet the Press saying he does not salute the flag. The president has never said any such thing, nor was he on Meet the Press the day the mythic Lindsborg article claims.)
