To: a fool in paradise

It’s clear now the Watergate reporting was not journalism but rather a partisan attack on Nixon.

The Left wanted Nixon impeached in his first term, long before Watergate ever occurred.

The Left wanted Reagan impeached in his first year, long before Iran-Contra.

The Left wanted Bush 43 impeached long before Abu Ghraib.

The peaceful transition of power ended over 55 years ago.

It was clear before Watergate that the press hated Nixon. They were not as "in your face" about it as they are today.

If Trump were the one who had done this, the lefty media would have gone with torches to the WH until he was charged.

"It’s clear now the Watergate reporting was not journalism but rather a partisan attack on Nixon."

It was clear to me back then.

I can remember sitting through the wall-to-wall coverage of "the old country lawyer" Sam Ervin's senate committee, with the old fart hammering Nixon at every turn with his folksy anecdotes.

It was enough to make any objective observer puke.

Does anyone recall the wall-to-wall media coverage of the Clinton impeachment hearings?

I think not, because it didn't happen.

I think what is clear is that Saints Woodward & Bernstein couldn’t have brought that story in without the copious leaking from the Deputy Director of the CIA.
