Woodward and Bernstein were merely the messenger boys for Mark Felt (Deep Throat), a man seeking revenge because Nixon passed over Felt and refused to make him FBI Director.
Why did Woodward and Bernstein protect the identity of Mark Felt? Because they knew if Felt was revealed, the myth of W&B as "noble and tireless journalists" would be shattered since Felt simply handed the story to them.
Watergate was a collaboration between Felt and the corrupt publishers/editors of the Washington Post. It was a foreshadowing of how seditious the Deep State/Deep Media alliance would eventually become.
Today that unholy alliance has reached the height of its secret powers -- and they MUST BE STOPPED to save the Republic!
Great analysis of Watergate was done by Pat Buchanan in a 2012 story entitled: The Outing of Deep Throat. After reading this, I never looked at Watergate in the same way.
Buchanan ends his piece with this:
If Felt was a hero, why did he not come forward to tell the country what he had done and why?
Because he was no hero.
Mark Felt was a snake. He used the Post to destroy his rivals and advance his ambitions, and the Post didn’t care what his motives were because Felt was assisting them in destroying their old enemy.
Yes, indeed, the finest hour in American journalism.
Go Trump!

A dirty job, but someone must be responsible and just do it; ERGO, PDJT
Woodward and Bernstein were stenographers for a disgruntled employee...
