    1. Simply as a factual matter, this is wrong. In the helter-skelter of Watergate MSM got stuff wrong & was attacked for doing so by right-wing press.https://twitter.com/wrmead/status/939238489010434048 …

    I remember Watergate pretty well, and I don't remember anything like this level of journalistic carelessness back then. The constant stream of 'bombshells' that turn into duds is doing much more to damage the media than anything Trump could manage. https://twitter.com/CNNPR/status/939234684004962305 …

        2. The standard right-wing account of Watergate (articulated here by Paul Johnson) is it was driven by press sensationalism, judicial overreach & Democratic partisanship.pic.twitter.com/0Bo7FfgiHe

        3. All the President's Men even has a big scene about the fallout of Woodward & Bernstein getting a big part of a story wrong: https://twitter.com/AaronWherry/status/939242159613636608 …

        That was a major plot point in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN when they fucked up the story verification

        Exactly. The first clue @WRMead isn't any sort of reliable narrator is the "Columnist @WSJ" in his bio.

        in fact, in the movie version of All The President's Men, Woodstein's big error on testimony regarding who controlled the slush fund is the basis for their huge moment of self doubt (they nearly resign) before they redouble their efforts after ben bradlee backs them up.

        But there wasn't so damned much OF it, and it didn't have such fast legs. We sat down to the 6 o'clock news, and watched it. We unfolded a newspaper and read it over coffee. We joined groups, or not. That was "engaged". Weirdly calm in retrospective context.
