Man, is this guy milikng this whole watergate thing or what. That whole thing really gave the media its sense of power. They were after Nixon for years after he nailed Alger Hiss, and they got him. As the writer says, there was never any proof that any of the so called “”smoking gun “ stuff ever happened. Looking back, it all seems so silly now, compared to today. Donald Segretti did a year in prison ...for calling up and cancelling Democrat campaign events...oh the horror.....geez

That’s what started the entire American news industry on a holy crusade against Nixon.

Read “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers (1952) to get the full story of Alger Hiss and the Soviet Union’s spy network in DC from 1935 onward.

They put Chambers through hell also.

And guess what—history proved that Joe McCarthy was right.
