Bill Murray expressed his discontent with Bob Woodward's book, "Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi," during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. Murray found the book's portrayal of Belushi to be deeply inaccurate, leading him to question Woodward's credibility, particularly regarding the journalist's famous reporting on Watergate. He stated that the inaccuracies he noted in the first few pages of the biography made him doubt the overall truthfulness of Woodward's work, including the implications for his coverage of Nixon.
When I read Wired, the book written by what's his name? Woodward. About Belushi. I read like five pages of Wired, and I went, Oh my God. They framed Nixon.'
If this is what he writes about my friend that I've known... which is completely inaccurate... what the hell did that could they have done to Nixon?
I felt like if he did this to my friend like this, and I acknowledge I only read five pages but those five pages made me want to set fire to the whole thing.
The two sources that he had, if he had them for the Wired book, were so far outside the inner circle that it was criminal.
