It is not an overstatement to say that American history's most lauded reporting is the Washington Post's Watergate journalism. There is also no doubt as to its earthshaking impact, both impelling the country's only removal of a president, and also inspiring a new brand of journalism and journalists. How is it explained, then, that so many salient facts of the Watergate story were missed, and an opposite impression consistently given? There are big questions for the Washington Post to answer in this podcast series, questions posed in this episode and expounded upon in future episodes as we continue our deep dive into the Mysteries of Watergate.
