It's interesting to contrast and compare attitudes towards Mark Felt and Linda Tripp.
Yes, Tripp compared to Felt....
Tripp: Victimized, threatened, demeaned, diminished, finances challenged and lost. Yet still retained dignity.
Felt: Victimizer, nefarious plotter, revenge-motivated op, challenged finances about to be boosted. Never had any real dignity to start with.
You pick the hero.
Even moreso, the media portrayal of Mark Felt and Gary Aldrich.
Yes. Every now and then a situation develops which validates what conservatives and republicans (have always known) have been saying about the liberal press.
