Woodward and Bernstein had far less integrity than Arrington!
Arrington's source was one of the potential conspirators, and he's blowing it up early to kill it and get it out there so more sources either publish or leak. Woodward and Bernstein were being spoonfed almost every drop of information from a single source, the acting head of the FBI — they were used as stenographers by the professional part of the government to take down the elected part. They would have never been canonized as the pinnacle of journalism had they revealed their source twenty years earlier.
