Guest Editorial on Media and Watergate
The piece argues that Nixon era attacks on TV and print media backfired as reporting by James R. Polk of the Washington Star News and Woodward and Bernstein of the Washington Post exposed campaign funding, spying, and manipulation. It praises a free press for uncovering crime and fraud in the 1972 election, noting how sensational claims by officials pale beside investigative journalism. Reprinted from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
