Surreptitiously taping campaign meetings: That was then, this is now

[Little-Acorn]

1972: Republican operatives secretly tape Democrat campaign meetings in the Watergate Hotel.

Media response: WHY, THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!! HOW DARE THEY DO THAT TAPING??? WE WANT JUSTICE!!! OFF WITH THE REPUBLICANS' HEADS!!!

2013: Democrat operatives secretly tape Republican campaign meetings in the Watterson Office Park.

Media response: Ooooohh, yummy, yummy! Tell us what the tapes say, tell us, quickly! Oh, by the way... OFF WITH THE REPUBLICANS' HEADS!!!

I'm glad it was a Democrat that turned in the Democrats that did the taping. Makes me think there might be some hope after all.
