I'm an Australian, forgive me if I don't have all the details, But wasn't the Trump Campaign also wiretapped, by the Obama Administration? as far as I am aware, Nixon never sought to financially benefit from his position, can the same be said about the Biden family? (ie "the big guy") - 600K per annum "consulting fees" for Hunter Biden? The wire trapping on the Trump campaign was also denied, until the Manafort trial, where it was exposed during discovery. Being clever enough to run get the CIA to do the wiretapping for you doesn't make it not a sly-tactic. Putting that trivialness aside, Bush, Clinton, Obama oversaw some of the worst war crimes in our lifetime, 400,000 dead civilians+, and that's not even including their complicity with Israel and what was done to Palestine over these last few decades. My country Australia was even democratically frozen out for MONTHS by Secretary Hilary Clinton for refusing to vote against Palestinian Statehood at the UN in 2012, she complained to the world's press about Australia and complained to our Ambassador in Washington personally. Australia is a formal ally of American, Israel isn't - before this event we didn't realise Israel was the 51st state. Considering this , is Nixon wiretapping (and then lying about it) really the greatest sin of a President? I think the establishment wanted Nixon gone for other reasons (his lack of blind support for Israel for one, including during the Yom Kippur war), and this was just a good excuse. Not every President would go down for this, but the rug was well and truly pulled out from under Nixon. Nixon and Jimmy Carter had a strong mutual respect for each other and friendship, because they were the two most upstanding and decent ex-presidents.

[@taiikomochiyuurichin1459]

The Nixon White House was not the only people that hated Watergate. Television at the time had three major pre-cable networks that each produced soap operas viewed by "housewives" Monday through Friday. When the hearings were televised the soap operas were not broadcast. Nothing worse than the attitude of a viewer who wanted to see the next turn of events on their soap operas but interrupted by Congressional hearings. That is how it was in my family dealing with a mother a fan of some soap operas that originated as daily 15 minute programs on radio.

If there was a "red scare" in the 50s, today has to be the equivalent of Friday The 13th.

[@mikemorris7247]

The full story of Watergate will never be known because we will never know what was on that eighteen minutes of tape. Nixon knew that by erasing it his doom was sealed. Whatever it was must have been so explosive he was willing to resign rather than have any inquiry go further.

[@Chafflives]

Indeed. 👍

Could you imagine the Mary Tyler Moore cast as a comedy version: Lou Grant as the Editor. MTM as Woodward, Ted Knight as ‘Deepthroat’ or Nixon … etc.

I have to state how great Brokaw was. Damn.

[@Nicksonian]

While this is a story about the extraordinary work of Woodward and Bernstein, let’s give a bow to Tom Brokaw and his team at NBC News. Done nearly 20 years ago, I’m not sure network news is capable of doing this kind of reporting any more. I entered a crowded journalism school in 1976 after Watergate spurred thousands toward careers in journalism. I had a full career in newspapers. Sadly my career, and newspapers are dead. Who would have thought?

It (and the NY Times) got even better while rags like the NY Post and Washington Times degenerated further into propaganda.

I was young when the incident happened. It was an astounding event to my generation and influenced our thinking so deeply that many of us would carry it with us for the rest of our lives. The courage and dedication of the individual citizen as a whistleblower --- It was a modern day Biblical David and Goliath story.

Wasn't the Trump Campaign also wiretapped, by the Obama Administration? as far as I am aware, Nixon never sought to financially benefit from his position, can the same be said about the Biden family? (ie "the big guy") - 600K per annum "consulting fees" for Hunter Biden? The wire trapping on the Trump campaign was also denied, until the Manafort trial, where it was exposed during discovery. Being clever enough to run get the CIA to do the wiretapping for you doesn't make it not a sly-tactic. Putting that trivialness aside, Bush, Clinton, Obama oversaw some of the worst war crimes in our lifetime, 400,000 dead civilians+, and that's not even including their complicity with Israel and what was done to Palestine over these last few decades. Considering this , is Nixon wiretapping (and then lying about it) really the greatest sin of a President? I think the establishment wanted Nixon gone for other reasons (his lack of blind support for Israel for one, including during the Yom Kippur war), and this was just a good excuse. Not every President would go down for this, but the rug was well and truly pulled out from under Nixon.

Robert Redford's assessment toward the end is more prescient now than in 2005.

Yes, Traitor Trump and his degenerate family have taken Republican America-hating and lawbreaking and treason to the next level.

You would think that, after a while, someone would have tailed Woodward to one of those clandestine meetings. It sounds like Bernstein was aware of the flowerpot on Woodward's balcony. Who else knew about it?

In 1972 I was a radio announcer for WGNC AM and FM in Gastonia, NC. Each day I would read the newscasts from United Press International about the Watergate story as it unfolded . It was unbelievable all the revelations that came from Deep Throat. I later read a book that was very critical of President Nixon. I wrote him a brief note of thanks for his accomplishments as president. To my surprise I received a note from him: “Dear Mr. Bigger, This is just a note to tell you how deeply I appreciated your very kind and thoughtful letter of June 27th. Mrs. Nixon joins me in sending you our very best wishes. Sincerely, (signed) Richard Nixon.” Of course, Bob and Carl had to investigate and report the crime. This is an excellent documentary.
