Watergate was a Media coup.
Loved silent Coup
Whatever happened to that ho Mo?
“Some in the media started referring to the “Nixon regime,” as if Nixon’s 49-state electoral victory was somehow anti-democratic. “
I remember the press kept referring to the Nixon Administration as “the Imperial Presidency.”
What is going now is an attempt to do the same to trump.
I’m glad you posted this information.
Shepard is one of the best sources for learning about the “take down” of President Nixon.
The Washington DC bureaucracies have to eventually be changed with a more political balanced workforce or de-funded completely.
At this point in our history they’re worse than any foreign power at destroying & dividing the country.
It was Barry Goldwater and other Senate Republicans who dropped their support of President Nixon and their actions forced him to resign.
The media was definitely corrupt even back then, but Nixon was a guaranteed income, welfare spewing rat. It was the coverup that got him and not the crime.
I’m no fan of Erik Erickson but he talked about this one afternoon. He was saying that it all started with an FBI agent that knew about the whole watergate Hotel thing, had been passed over for a promotion and decided to drop dime on the whole thing to get back at everyone.
CBS ran a two-hour special tonight— “Watergate: High Crimes in the White House.”
The purpose was to portray Republicans as threats to democracy then and now. Clearly implied was that Trump is a threat as dastardly as Nixon ever was. Woodward and Bernstein appeared, of course. They’ve lived off this thing for decades.
All of this is propaganda for the upcoming elections and to distract people from the real issues—that Biden and his cronies are a disaster. That the country is almost on its knees because of their policies as they smash a wrecking ball at everything the U.S stands for.
Donald Trump at the Faith and Freedom conference had an excellent point when he was attacking the gender stuff being foisted on elementary students by teachers and school administrators. He said, “you wouldn’t want these people babysitting your kids for 30 minutes; why should they be in charge of your children for six hours a day?” Enormous applause from his audience.
Thank you for posting this.

Yes, the media got away with oodles and oodles of fabrication - before the internet - a very limited few were even able to check any ‘facts’ before being bulldozed. Same with Roe v Wade, evolution, Kinsey’s sex studies, Federal Reserve, income and property tax, etc.
Same battle many people have been fighting (including me) regarding Joseph McCarthy, who was slandered with even less real justification than Richard Nixon.
