“Ever since Watergate, the press has been trying to produce an encore, but have just managed to practice the politics of personal destruction to the point that good people are leery of running for anything.”

Huh???????????

Maybe that is true when a Republican is in the White House - but when a Democrap infests the place????

Clintoon did things that made Nixon look like a Sunday school teacher, and the media absolutely REFUSED to report on any of them. And when they did report on them, they twisted every story to look like “the bent one” was being persecuted. Kind of like the same thing they are doing today with zero.

Second, don't you think the press treated Republicans differently even before Watergate? However, never before did they succeed in bringing down a president.

The success with Nixon, left the press hungry for a repeat performance(which naturally means a Republican-Nixon was a Republican after all).

Do you really think the press has improved since Watergate? “gotcha” is the name of the game more than ever since Watergate. All those wannabe Woodwards and Bersteins.LOL I never said that they would go after Democrats.
