As an idealistic, dewy-eyed young man, I was appalled by the Watergate scandal. As a result, I wore an American flag pin upside down on my lapel and felt vindicated when President Nixon gave that theatrical wave as he entered the helicopter leaving the White House after resigning. The good guys had won ... and the "idealistic" media had saved our nation from scum the likes of Tricky Dick.
With all that is happening now, I am beginning to rethink my condemnation of Richard Nixon ... and realize that the media are not always acting out of idealism. The Watergate "plumbers" were, after all, just trying to find in the DNC the source of all the leaks emanating from the Nixon White House. Yes, this was an illegal act ... but so was this Democrat leaking. The Left and the main stream media have an appalling well-honed knack of making a sow's ear out of a silk purse ... and they're at it again. ... trying to take down Donald Trump. Maybe this time the American people will understand what is really going on behind that newsprint curtain ...

Go back and re-visit history. That's not what brought Richard Nixon down. It was the coverup, not the act of the breakin.
I understand that Anon. That is why the media is trying to construct a coverup story around this Russian "collusion". Notice how many times the words "may" and "might" are used to weave this cloth of innuendo. Israel does not seem to be too upset about Trump's ISIS revelation to the Russians.
I think most Americans already know what is happening behind the POTUS Twitter curtain of alternative "facts". No one is doing more to take Trump down than Trump himself. He's a lightweight in a heavyweight ring. Even North Korea farts in his general direction.
Please explain how you know what most Americans are thinking ... is this a result of watching SNL and Colbert?
And unfortunately Kim's farts are on top of ICBMs ...
How do I get my information? "I watch the shows."
