Isn't it obvious that the whole Watergate "scandal" thing is almost entirely BS? Pro-communists from within the government were undermining Nixon and the war effort. He wasn't wrong for trying to expose that POS who released the top-secret Pentagon Papers to the NY Slimes. He should have been hung for that! We can't keep conceding crap like this to the lefties.
It took the media 7 months of incessant pounding of the story before public opinion began to register in the polls. Watergate was the first and most effective media created scandal and has served as the template for nearly every republican “scandal” since.
