Since at least during the 60s, the media has been really corrupt. During the Viet Nam war I often thought (correctly as it turned out) that the media was on the side of the Communists.

Watergate was a high water mark for media bias. I was not really a fan of Nixon but goodness the media basically smeared him as if he was another Hitler. Watergate was nothing compared to Fast & Furious but one was covered maybe a thousand times more than the other.

Now it has gotten the worst I have ever seen. They are more or less an Obama re-election force. They are doing things which they have to know are corrupt which means they themselves are corrupt.

I hold no particular brief for Nixon, but he got screwed in Watergate. Mark Felt (aka 'Deep Throat) was leaking specifics of an ongoing investigation to the press. The stenographers Woodward and Bernstein were too stupid or too hateful of Nixon to realize that what Felt was doing was worse than what Nixon was accused of. Investigative Journalism my pasty white buttocks.
