Did History.com commemorate the 40th anniversary of Bill Ayers’ bombing of the Pentagon? Er no, 2012 was a re-election year for Boom Boom Bammy who was pals with the bomber.

People acted as if Nixon was paranoid that the media was “out to get him”.

Not like we aren’t seeing that same crap play out today from a conspiratorial media colluding with criminal Democrats (Hello, Comey).

Roger Mudd wrote in his autobiography that the CBS Newsroom in Washington was fired up that Saturday. The limited staff available (two reporters) were each assigned stories about the burglary. A CBS staffer-producer was prodding other media to cover the story.

“Washington Post” reporter Bob Woodward was a younger less experienced staffer given the Saturday work schedule and he began to dig into the story and was joined by Carl Bernstein.

The television networks salivated at every word they printed and envied them for their work.

Nixon and the media were at war with each other pretty much since 1969. The media was biased but in the end Richard Nixon had to ‘take responsibility’ for the actions of his men that he did not know about.

I used to know a woman who worked as a typist in the White House during the Nixon years. She claimed that both sides (dems/repubs) were constantly stealing stuff from each other.

She recalled a time when she typed up stuff to be used in a Congressional hearing (about the EPA). She put it in the safe for the night, and the next day Democrats at the hearing already knew (and used) what was in the document.

She said these dirty tricks were quite commonplace those days.

People need to wake up. What Trump is going through is nothing new.
Nixon was the one being spied upon and it was the will of the electorate that was subverted.

The Atlantic - Nixon and the Chiefs

In the last days of 1971 President Richard Nixon and his closest aides met to discuss the astonishing discovery that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had been spying on the White House.

It should come as no surprise that Woodward given his Naval Intelligence background was the one to "break' Watergate the story.

Lisa Pease poses the question concerning Woodward's intelligence links, which would explain the role he and Bernstein wittingly or unwittingly played in keeping the CIA's nose clean while making sure the world saw the President's nose was dirty.

Yep. If only we were in a position of power to do something about this.
