Please tell me just what did Nixon do to contribute to his “downfall”?

He did no more and no less than all politicians have done since time immemorial; my point was that the media settled its score with him by pretending that he invented dishonesty.

It is true, as the previous posted pointed out, that in thise days the MSM had covered itself in the veneer of “objective truth”. We rubes actually trusted and believed old Walter Cronkite, et. al. to be truth-tellers. Now, at least for those of us who pay attention, we know what liars they were and are.

Oh, I’m a big defender of Nixon, but his mistake was the cover up.

But I guess it’s a little late to debate that... or is it ever too late.
