DOONESBURY is the ultimate sociological AMERICANA artifact: Unfunny Ivy League type, singularly obsessed with WATERGATE (the original FAKE NEWS) decades after the fact dropping dog-whistle snark that STRIVERS who will NEVER be part of the club pretend to ''get''

Watergate wasn’t fake. The McGovern campaign actually was spied upon. However: 1. Presidents had been using illegal electronic surveillance since technology existed 2. It is dwarfed in importance by the Trump wiretapping scandal, and the Obama NSA scandal shortly preceding it

You're missing why it was fake. CIA / FBI plant in Nixon's White House orchestrates and conducts the break-in, CIA / FBI feed the info about the break-in to the media. The break-in wasn't the real scandal, framing Nixon was.
