Blog #9: Response to Chapter 13, "Watergate forces President to his knees"

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein changed journalism entirely. There nonstop investigation found "solid evidence" connecting the White House to "The third-rate burglary." the break-in led to revelations about the misuse of campaign contributions, laundered money, political sabotage, deception, immortality, and other misdeeds. It led Nixon becoming the only U.S. president in history to resign from office. Woodward and Bernstein pushed the limits of investigative reporting, they lied, begged and badgered sources. Woodward relied on an anonymous source the whole time, Deep Throat. The newspaper they worked for The Washington Post was the only news organization investigating the Watergate story. Television news did a bad job covering Watergate unlike the Civil Rights Movement and The Vietnam war. It made The Washington Post famous.
