I wish Nixon was not a Republican. He has embarrassed the party for generations. Every time we have some sort of scandal, he is brought up. He clearly was a democrat since he was a dishonest jerky crook. Anyway we can disown him from the Republican Party. Easily the worst Republican President in American History.

There is no comparison.

Nixon was a Christian, a veteran, an anti-communist, a heterosexual, and a patriot. He spent eight years observing a great administrator. Nobody died at the Watergate.

The Press has ruined itself.

They do not report news any longer, they concentrate on making it , and they are left wing cheerleaders.

Dear NYT, we do not have a free press. We have a press that has placed itself in voluntary servitude to the Democrat Party.

A lion hunting the plains of Africa is free, the family dog is not.

The only real autonomy that the press demonstrates is when it gets into an argument with the DNC concerning what strategy best forwards socialism.

I'm sure there are those who would argue that Bush harmed the press the most because he repeatedly made them go to Crawford, Texas for eight long years.

The Washington Post single-handedly took Nixon out, but Nixon harmed the free press?

Shameless.

How did Nixon harm the free press? He made them stronger.

Indeed. I'd be interested in specifics of what they think Nixon did to the press.

Yes, Yes, this list is correct at first glance. But in all fairness, it's not for us to judge whether Obama isn't a perfectly satisfactory Indonesian patriot.

The point is that NYT kept Obama’s name out of the headline.
