No president in modern history, including Bill Clinton, would stand for a Washington Post team of reporters posting "reports" from an alleged informant inside the administration that they wouldn't identify until he died. Look at the way Barry Hussein rails out about Fox. Any reporter who tried to bring down a democrat administration would have been examined and exposed for his political agenda these days. Not so for the Watergate heroes, Bob Woodward was just a liberal lightweight to take the weight in case it became obvious that Karl Bernstein was the son of card carrying communists who raised him to hate republicans and especially a former HUAC prosecutor like Nixon. The obvious bias by the Post reporters never became an issue because at that time in media history the only information Americans received through radio, TV and print was filtered through a liberal screen. There was no FOX or talk radio and liberal TV celebrity Walter Cronkite was voted most trusted man in the media by fellow liberals. The point is that Karl Bernstein wasn't just a Washington Post reporter, he was a Marxist radical who hated Nixon and that little detail never reached the American public.
