Why did Woodward and Bernstein and Ben Bradlee pursue the Watergate story? Because they wanted to get to the bottom of it and find out what was there that the American public might want to know.

Why is it so hard for the naysayers to understand that the same principle applies in this case? Why aren’t “reporters” doing their jobs, even if they do support Barry?

That is not correct. Woodward and Bernstein only wanted to get Nixon. Nothing more.

Hence the definition “Mediacrat”.
