  • Resumen

  • Prior episodes have shown that the Nixon Presidency, churlishly cynical though it may have been, was the victim of deceitful journalism by the Washington Post which cast it far more villainously than deserved.

    Was the harm of this journalism limited to this particular epoch? Unfortunately, no. This episode will show but a few examples of how this greatly ballyhooed style of “investigative” journalism caused far more harm than partisan electoral advantage. In its effort to prosecute a target, such journalism must by its very nature conceal and distort, which, when applied to matters of national security, can endanger us all, either by excessive manacles placed on our intelligence agencies, enabling terrorist attack, or, at the other extreme, allowing these same agencies carte blanche skullduggery when they are pursuing a partisan domestic target to the benefit of a foreign adversary.  In short, for decades American society has been reaping Watergate journalism’s bitter harvest.

Excellent research and detail

The author did an excellent analysis but more so his work is so reflective of the false news and narratives that get today - he exposes the chicanery of so called journalism which has metastasized from watergate to today to become an abject cancer and malignancy of deception.

This podcast as well as his book are a case study in dystopian mis-information - Bernstein and Woodward for years have been held up in an exemplary way - when in reality they possess exemplary forms of unethical Standards - content with being sock puppets for their Masters - as a graduate student in journalism - they both are deplorable - for example just this week former CIA leadership is now touting the need for narratives and censorship on the basis of national security - they should solicit Woodward and Bernstein as their poster children in this effort -

This is a great podcast and book and it comes at the most appropriate time- unlike Woodward and Bernstein who give their cognitive skills and thinking to their masters- I however , enjoy thinking for myself with ethos-pathos and logos - Mr. O’Connor is the patriot ! The aforementioned individuals are solely the synthesizers for the cancer of mis-information emblematic of immorality and complete disregard of virtue!
