The left had the four major networks locked up with their propaganda. And Nixon didn’t really fight back.
Times have changed. That playbook won’t work anymore.
Nixon didn’t okay the Watergate break in but his covering up for the people that planned it, and his stonewalling did him in. He should have faced down the congress and said...go ahead impeach me and see where it gets you! Nixon was not accused of planning the break in at Watergate, he was implicated in trying to cover for those who planned it(which is a crime).
He should not have covered up for the burglars and their handlers and took a little heat for awhile. He was in his second term after all and would have had time to have recovered politically and ended his political life at the end of the Bicentennial year in heroic fashion.
We could have avoided 4 years of Mr. Peanut’s recession by electing another Republican in 1976. The distractions made the energy crisis worse and he was playing with a weakened hand in trying to deal with the Soviets and the Chinese.
Conservatives in Nixon’s day were the TOO silent majority. They have seen a lot of evil done to our country by the Left since then. Progressive Communists will not have a free ride in the next upheaval, because younger, stronger Conservatives will not roll over and play dead.
Ok young pup, educate me. After CBC,ABC,NBC which was the fourth network? CNN,MSNBC,TASS? I was a tad young to pay attention to politics in the late ‘60’s, but those were the only three CHANNELS, let alone networks available to us via the antenna on our roof
