Even moreso, the media portrayal of Mark Felt and Gary Aldrich.
Aldrich is the model for a "hero" declaring chicanery of a high-level boss.
Felt, a "hero"?
Heroes step up and say, Hey, this is going on! They don't skulk around, hiding, fearful and vengeful at the same time. That's not a hero.
And we will never know if ALL the stuff Felt gave the reporters was even true, because he's a dithering jerk, and nearly all of the key players are dead.
