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.

If Nixon didn’t have control of his “plumbers,” then he’s incompetent. The fact that an FBI agent leaked to the press as part of an intentional plot to bring him down doesn’t make it fake. Not fake like it was with Trump, where they outright lied to a judge to get a warrant

His team got infiltrated by guys who are trained and practiced at infiltrating. The fake part of it wasn't that the break-in didn't happen - it's that FBI / CIA did the break-in then reported on themselves. Exactly fake like it was with Trump, btw. Same actors used the system.

One case they lied to a judge to get a warrant to swing the machine into motion, the other they lied to get on to a team to then commit crimes themselves that would get blamed on their enemy. Both manipulation of the machinery of state.
