The so-called trump administration is so thoroughly corrupt at every level and in every way that Watergate by comparison looks like a crime at the level of spiking the punch at a Sunday school picnic. Even Nixon would not have sunk to the levels that DJT has. The Republican party itself had some principles and standards back then. Not any more. _“Targeted by ‘deep state’ forces…”_ 🤦🏽 Get off it, J.D.! ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > The Republican party itself had some principles and standards back then. Not any more. Eh. An unsurprising number of Republican Senators were ready to stand by Nixon, too, but the party realized they didn’t have the numbers. It was going to be an embarrassment to have to defend the ‘no’ Senate votes on impeachment but fortunately Nixon was not totally unprincipled. Sure, they’ve gotten worse (as has the American electorate), but they weren’t as principled as all that 50 years ago, either ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Even Nixon would not have sunk to the levels that DJT has. The Republican party itself had some principles and standards back then. Not any more. Here’s the difference that I see: Today they have a news apparatus (of which Fox News is the _most_ reasonable) to spin and distort the truth. What forced decency on the Republicans in the 1970s was the fourth estate - the press - that dug in, gathered evidence, and didn’t blink when it came time to report it to America. Today, the details would be so twisted that Nixon would avoid accountability. Nobody actually stole anything important, and Nixon didn’t need the votes, so who cares? Besides, I heard the guy who did the break-in was _actually_ a democrat; and what about Tom Eagleton - he had electroshock therapy! ---

Not only was there a comprehensive news apparatus, but the general public got the news from only a few sources. Most people took a daily newspaper, and many cities had not only more than one newspaper but multiple additions of a given newspaper every day. You really did go and physically buy the latest edition of the newspaper to find out what the latest update on any event was. Are there people as old as I am here who actually remember doing this as adults? During Watergate I had already been out of college for 3 years and I was married. Also TV news was our main source of information. There was a time when Walter Cronkite was the most trusted man in America. News was not available around the clock. That didn’t happen until CNN covered the first Gulf War in 1990, 24/7. Today with the internet, news if you can call it that… let me just say _information_ comes from many, many sources most of them unreliable. YouTube, podcasts, message boards, TikTok, Reddit, the person on the street with a phone. A public event that might have been covered by multiple TV news cameras in the past is now recorded by dozens or hundreds of individuals on the spot with their phones. It was a very different world with respect to news coverage. ---

He then declared, “Anyone who depends solely on broadcast news is foolish.” This is probably why I can’t stand watching videos. Unless the information has a heavy visual content, I would rather read the information. I find videos to be a remarkably inefficient way to transmit information. Apple News has an audio section. Sometimes a story there will catch my eye and I’ll click on it, only for an audio clip to start playing. Fortunately there’s almost always a way to read the story instead. ---
