Mainstream media employees could hardly contain themselves. It was a frenzy, a mob swarming mindlessly attacking a man hated. A man who had been "caught" doing something that was routine in politics. Sometimes the TV network employees devoted the entire 30-minute evening "news" to Watergate stories, old and new; fact and rumor. The war? Other news? What war? What other news?

Not surprising is that one of the "plumbers," E. Howard Hunt, had been ordered by a Democrat president to bug Barry Goldwater's campaign in 1964. The same president ordered his good friend and former neighbor, J. Edgar Hoover, to bug Goldwater's campaign plane. SOP for both Parties.

We all knew it at the time. We also watched the mainstream media employees fawn over Dick Tuck, the Democrat's dirty trickster, while condemning president Nixon, et al. in the vilest of terms.

Exactly right. I remember how much the liberal media hated Nixon with a passion--which is one of the reasons I really liked him.
