I've always been a conservative, and I admired the press when they went after Nixon. I thought they were doing what the Press should do. Now, anything conservative is evil in their eyes
Well,I DIDN’T admire the press when they went after Nixon because even as a high school student it was very plain the vast majority of the news media was strongly biased for big government socialism. It has been, and is still ,my belief that Saudi money was the driver to get Nixon because he wanted America not dependent OPEC oil. Of all the things I doubt,coindences rank high. And it was not long after Nixon declared he wanted new energy policies that Watergate became THE news day after day. The press has long demanded Republicans be held to the strictest interpretation of any and all rules BUT Democrats must be given understanding and flexibility.
The Republicans lose because they won’t fight and stick together.
Nixon wasn’t a conservative. The reason the press hated him was because he was a major factor of putting Algier Hiss ( communist in the State department ) in prison . Hiss was FDR’s guy . JMHO
It now makes me wonder about what they did to Nixon, frankly, and what that actually was.
