Watergate was a pivotal point in U.S. politics mostly because that was when the collective media, Washpo included, realized the immense power they wielded that could bring down a sitting president, and they have acted accordingly ever since.

In the post-Watergate era, the collective media also realized the power they wielded could be used to protect presidents they favored. Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden have all committed crimes far worse than anything Nixon did, but they got off without consequences.
