Woodward and Bernstein’s Secret Sources
In 2005, W. Mark Felt came forward in Vanity Fair to identify himself as journalism’s most famous secret source. The 91-year-old former FBI executive admitted—with a little push from his family—to being Deep Throat, the anonymous source whose information was vital to numerous scoops about the Watergate scandal written by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in 1972-73. A national guessing game that had been played for 31 years seemed over. Yet the arrival of Deep Throat in the flesh created new complications, as media scholar Matt Carlson observed in 2010. A stroke-afflicted Felt was unable to speak on his own behalf; simultaneously, “Woodstein” (as the reporting duo were known internally at the Post) could no longer dictate the terms for how to think about Deep Throat. Speculation persisted, not only over how Woodward and Bernstein had used sources but also over what Carlson called “the overall accuracy of the Watergate narrative as retold by journalists,” who have a vested interest in a self-glorifying version.
Nothing did more to stoke these doubts than a 2012 biography of Ben Bradlee, Woodward and Bernstein’s fabled editor at the Post . In Yours in Truth , author Jeff Himmelman, a former Woodward disciple, described how he found an interview recorded while Bradlee was preparing his autobiography in the early 1990s. In it, the Post editor expressed doubts about Woodstein’s portrayal of Deep Throat in their book on the investigation, All the President’s Men . “There’s a residual fear in my soul that that isn’t quite straight,” Bradlee told the interviewer in 1990. Himmelman also found in Bradlee’s papers a memo from Bernstein that described his clandestine encounter in December 1972 with a source identified only by the code name “Z.” In All the President’s Men , the information provided by “Z” was put on a par with disclosures made by Deep Throat. Himmelman put two and two together and realized “Z” was a member of the grand jury that had issued the original indictments against the Watergate burglars in September 1972—although in their book, Woodstein expressly denied getting information from anyone on the grand jury. One didn’t have to be a skeptic to believe that Woodward and Bernstein were still withholding the full truth about their exploits. Now a document has surfaced in an unlikely place that sheds sorely needed light on Woodstein’s reporting while providing some perspective on the press’s role in uncovering the scandal. Oddly enough, the document—a draft of a Woodstein story from January 1973—was buried deep within the papers of Alan J. Pakula, director of the eponymous 1976 Hollywood film based on Woodstein’s best-seller. Pakula, who died in 1998, deeded all his papers to the Margaret Herrick Library at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—the people who give you the Oscars. The collection includes his copious research for All the President’s Men , and in many respects, Pakula’s papers are more illuminating about the book and the movie than Woodward’s and Bernstein’s own papers, which are housed at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas.

X-Files Wiki is a FANDOM TV Community.
" Deep Throat " is a character in The X-Files television series. A mysterious informant and member of the Syndicate , Deep Throat assisted and provided highly classified intel to FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder in the early 1990s . He would often reveal the information he chose to provide in a cryptic manner.

Deep Throat's real name was later revealed to be Ronald Pakula

Deep Throat once told Fox Mulder that he had been serving as a CIA operative during the Vietnam War when he shot and killed the alien occupant of a UFO shot down by the Marines after it had been sighted for five nights over Hanoi. According to Deep Throat's claim, he had consequently gained the distinction of being one of three men to have exterminated an E.B.E. in compliance with the E.B.E. Extermination Policy , but the alien's blank and innocent expression moments before its death had continued to haunt him. — ( E.B.E. )

In or before 1973 , Deep Throat became a member of the Syndicate and worked with the " Cigarette Smoking Man ", William Mulder , Victor Klemper , the " First Elder ", the " Third Elder " and the " Well-Manicured Man ". In 1972 or '73, Deep Throat posed for a photograph with his colleagues outside the Strughold Mining Company in West Virginia . — ( P aper Clip )

According to unconfirmed evidence later amassed by Melvin Frohike , Deep Throat called the Cigarette-Smoking Man on the night of December 24, 1991 with news that a UFO had been recovered. In a discussion between the two men later that night, Deep Throat apparently revealed that the UFO matched the dimensions of the vehicle spotted over Hanoi when he had been working for the CIA in Vietnam. According to Frohike's evidence, Deep Throat mentioned that the marines hadn't been able to shoot down the UFO, contradicting the story he would later tell Fox Mulder. Supposedly, Deep Throat also expressed concern over possible international interest regarding the recent UFO recovery and, even though the Cigarette-Smoking Man wanted to study the E.B.E. alive, Deep Throat insisted that the alien entity, which was already in critical condition, be killed, citing Security Council Resolution 1013 . Deep Throat, rather than the Cigarette Smoking Man, was randomly selected to shoot the extraterrestrial and he did so, despite the fact that it would have helped William Mulder's project. — ( M usings of a Cigarette Smoking Man )

Between 1992 and 1994 , Deep Throat provided Mulder with information regarding the X-Files that he was investigating. — ( D eep Throat , G host in the Machine , F allen Angel , E ve , Y oung at Heart , E.B.E. theerlenmeyerflask , he Erlenmeyer Flask )

"Deep Throat" first appears to Fox Mulder in the mirror of a Washington, D.C. public washroom.
Moments prior to first meeting Mulder, Deep Throat slyly observed him in a Washington bar as the FBI agent briefly told his partner, Special Agent Dana Scully , about a case involving the disappearance of a colonel named Robert Budahas near Ellens Air Base , in Idaho . When Mulder left Scully to use the restroom, Deep Throat followed and entered as Mulder was washing his face. Although Deep Throat refused to answer several questions about his identity, he strongly advised Mulder not to pursue the case in Idaho, claiming that the military would not tolerate an FBI investigation. He also offered his assistance to Mulder, revealing that he was in a position to know a lot about the American government and had been keeping an interest in Mulder's work on the X-Files . Deep Throat quickly left the restroom, causing Mulder to lose sight of him while attempting to follow the mysterious man out of the room to the bar outside.

Mulder disregarded Deep Throat's warning and, shortly after seeing a UFO while later intruding on Ellens Air Base, he was captured by the military, only to be freed due to Scully negotiating for his release but his memory of the incident had apparently been erased. Deep Throat learned that the agents had been witness to things they had not been meant to see.
