If Nixon had been a Democrat there never would have been a Watergate.

The truth of "deep throat" is that top FBI agents played two cub reporters for suckers.

The Washington Post didn't do outstanding investigative reporting, they just sat still while powerful men who majored in corrupting the human spirit used them.

Most MSM pubs can't even do basic reporting -- what the budget is, who voted for/against, what new laws have been proposed or pased -- much less investigative.

The Post & most big city dalies are jokes.
