I was around then and never thought things would get scarier, but they have.

The forces that countered Nixon in Congress, the federal courts and in the press were much stronger than those that oppose Bush.

Dunno. I'm currently (finally) reading The Great Shark Hunt, which includes some of HST's Watergate dispatches. He analyzes how (and why) virtually all the MSM ignored the greatest story of the 70's for the longest time, playing lapdog to the powers that be.

Ultimately, only 2 reporters and 1 judge prevented Nixon from getting away with it.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
