  • This NBC News production, hosted by the incisive and respected Tom Brokaw, delves into the fascinating story of "Deep Throat," the secret source who helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein break open the Watergate scandal, ultimately leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Deep Throat kept his identity a tantalizing secret for more than 30 years, but the truth has finally come out. This illuminating report tells the entire story, and includes interviews with many of the scandal's most important figures. Among others, Academy Award-winning actor and director Robert Redford speaks honestly about the making of the groundbreaking film ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, while Woodward and Bernstein give Brokaw surprising in-depth interviews about the process they went through to piece together the truth and break their story.

    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.

    Wait a minute. The story starts with Woodward being a sort of cub crime reporter (quote "a rookie") and shortly after, about 6:10 into the video, we find Woodward contacting a trusted source that he has been "cultivating" for two years. Well, we know how the Watergate story unfolds, but is really clumsy and inconsistent.

      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.

    Being a hero is complicated. A person can be honorable in one part of their life while being despicable in other parts.

Then he did the right thing and Pat Buchanan was wrong. Felt did not break his oath. He carried it out in the face of outrageous criminality in the White House.
