Yes, I’m stunned by how little media coverage there is. I lived through the Nixon Watergate hearings and it was 24/7....well before the imternet or any of the other good stuff we have now.

That wasn't my impression early on. Much of the misbehavior was tracked to the Committee to Re-elect the President; or CREEP. (What a fitting name, no?) Despite what little coverage there was, Nixon was re-elected.

At some point I realized that I was hearing the term "Watergate" frequently but without really understanding it.

When I did start following it closely I had to turn to the back pages of the newspaper to find mention of it and that situation continued for many months. I can't remember what particular development really brought it to the front page. It took quite a while for the scandal to reach Nixon.

The liberal media can’t have their precious Obama and their precious Hillary looking bad, now can they?

That's because Nixon was a Republican.
