There was so much press after Deep Throat revealed himself that no one needs to read Woodward's account.

And not only that...but every freakin' year for the last 30 years, the media celebrates the "annivesary" of Watergate and everything Nixon. For almost a week, we get to listen to Woodward and Bernstein...and the rest of the media, pat themselves on the back about how they saved the republic. It's gettting old and tiring.

Ironically, this same media that didn't get the chance to impeach Nixon completely ignores the anniversary and dates of the only impeached president in the 20th Century. They're pathetic.

----you have absolutely nailed it. The Watergate story
AS IT WAS HAPPENING over 30 years ago, made at the very least for compelling reading in "real-time" as it was unfolding, though even then it looked like a set-up job by a media that hated Nixon---the story was SO overdone even in its own day----Nixon was the new McCarthy, responsible for the entire American civilization losing its innocence. How many times have we heard over the last 30 years that "nothing was ever the same after Watergate" as far as the public consciousness of corruption and trust in its own leadership in Washington?". There are all these media-created milestone moments in modern American history that by now ought to make us laugh out loud. Of course the Clinton Administration produced EIGHT SOLID YEARS of "Watergates", but the media didn't seem to notice.
