10. Okay -
He said that Bob Woodward acted in the tradition of American journalist by checking his sources before reporting. And that's different from how things are in totalitarian countries.

Seems to me that he was giving the press their marching orders to be more accurate and to stop being lapdogs. Just an implication. That's how I took it. He was speaking so calmly that I might have missed his point. But I think he was giuving an admonishment to the press. Pretty cool stuff! I think you were on the right track.
