I was just a kid, but I’m old enough to remember Watergate. As I grew older, I learned more specific details about this historic event. Here’s my Watergate takeaway, which I think is the accepted “narrative” on this historic event:
Watergate was the biggest political scandal of the century. The fallout or denouement caused President Nixon to resign from office and sent several “conspirators” to prison.
It also made Woodward and Bernstein the most famous journalists of all time.
Few people had heard of these journalists when they began compiling relevant facts about the original Watergate crime and obligatory cover-up, but this changed over the span of about two years.
Based in part on these two journalists doing their jobs, Congressional officials decided to also do their jobs and before you knew it, most of the sordid story was known to the world.
Woodward and Bernstein, who were already minor celebrities, really cashed in with the publication of their best-selling book All the President’s Men , which was adapted into an Academy Award-winning movie starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, two of the biggest stars of our era.After filling their mantles with every journalism prize, the Washington Post scribes parlayed this fame […]

While you asked and answered your own question —– most eloquently also answered by Real Journalist Lee Smith in a 2–minute video awhile back (please see link below), I would differ with several of your statements and take extreme exception to the false narrative they are predicated upon, unwittingly accepted by too many today!
“Based in part on these two journalists doing their jobs . . .”
Were they? Woodward met so–called Deep Throat in the underground parking garage below a residential apartment/condo building where over 73% of the tenants either worked at the CIA, or were contractors with them — a crucial fact never expounded on?!
Although I am anti–Nixon all the way, I have never accepted former senior FBI man, Mark Felt, as Deep Throat because he never had direct access to the information he was alleged to have passed on to former NCIS guy Woodward, who was stationed in a White House office running background checks on employees with the White House Communications Agency (which may have had direct access???) before separating from the Navy and joining WaPo?!
One player who did have direct access was Kissinger and he also had a relationship with Felt that went back to the 1950s — when Kissinger was vying for tenure at Harvard, he would call up the FBI and ostensibly “tip them” about his competitors for tenure being communists?! Kissinger’s contact at the FBI?
Mark Felt, of course! So just mentioned was a slew of real factoids which was never reported on by Woodward and Berstein —— shocker of shockers!!!
Which leads me to take issue with another statement below:
“The reason Woodward and Bernstein were able to tell the the world that Nixon’s White House was full of crooks is because the Washington Post wasn’t part of that conspiracy.”
Again, pure supposition based upon published false narratives!
Sorry, do not believe WaPo and Woodward/Bernstein told the real story, just as my opinion of Nixon, never high to begin with, sunk to the bottom after perusing the declassified meeting minutes between him and Kissinger and Mao and Zhou Enlai from their 1970s trips to Beijing (David Rockefeller had also been present but not mentioned in the docs!?)
