I have been saying Watergate was a Media coup for years.

It appears the “Deep State” and the old dominant media were in cahoots for quite a while.

Agreed. An argument could be made that the drive by media’s taking down of Nixon, while also having an effect on Vietnam, wet the media’s mouths into thinking they could impact all govt decisions all the time. Including today.

I have a liberal friend in New Mexico who is a former senior editor for Time Magazine. He told me once his mission, as a journalist, was to “Bring down a president (Nixon).” So much for honest, unbiased journalism.

Just imagine how bad HiLIARita’s unethical conduct was to justify her being launched form the House Watergate Committee
