    Jeet Heer Retweeted Byron York

    Byron York thinks Watergate would've been better if Nixon had a propaganda network that lied to Republican base, helping him cover up his crimes. Bold argument!https://twitter.com/ByronYork/status/947889923155202054 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    In Watergate, 2 newspapers (WP NYT), 3 30-minute network newscasts that illustrated the 2 newspapers' stories. As Zelizer noted, huge tilt against Nixon. Now: More outlets, more information. A good thing. https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/947886140497039360 …

        The Times and Post made some mistakes over the >2 years of investigation but they did a damn fine job, eventually the whole story got out, and President Nixon rightly resigned in disgrace. But what they really needed was a Breitbart to mix things up.

        Breitbart unnecessary. Rest of the country didn't pick up WaPo & NYT coverage until impossible to ignore.

        We can safely say we know what Byron York would've done in history. And not just during Watergate

        @ByronYork Meanwhile, Byron would do well to look at what someone who was actually in the Nixon White House thinks of the current state of affairs.https://twitter.com/johnwdean/status/947888432923078656 …

        Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, is more important in 2018 than taking the US House from the GOP, and beginning the end of Trump’s horrific presidency. The well being of the nation depends on it. Don’t let a day pass without doing some act to help Democrats win control. STOP TRUMP!

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        This would only make sense if Mr. York believes Nixon was -- and Trump is -- upholding the Constitution. A belief, of course, that does not reside in reality.

        I do not believe @ByronYork holds that belief about either Nixon or Trump. I also believe he does not care. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Watergate would also have turned out better for Nixon if he had a Devin Nunes to run the cover-up out of Congress
