If you really look at Watergate, you will find that there are virtually no "facts" at all. No secrets to be revealed. Nothing but a third-rate burglary--which was an attempt to ferret out and counteract some Democrat dirty tricks--and an enormous witch-hunt by the liberal media and the Democrats, right at the height of the new-left fervor that bubbled up during the Countercultural Revolution.
What, Nixon considered using one FBI file, but decided not too. How horrible. He used bad language when he talked to staffers? How awful.
Clinton stole 900 FBI files, and as far as we know he still has them. And Lyndon Johnson was capable of almost any kind of corruption to get what he wanted.
I tend to agree. despite Woodward's and Bernstein's clumsey attempts to give Deep Throat a personality, they did not have the competency of a decent novelist to make the character appear believable. The "information" he provided was probably surmised from tidbits gleaned here and there from low-level officials - there were never any earthshaking revelations attributed to Deep Throat.
