The Washington Post, which has close ties to the CIA, falsified and expanded former FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt’s intel during the Watergate scandal to take down Richard Nixon, revealed John O’Connor, a lawyer and the author of Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today’s Partisan Advocacy Journalism.
O’Connor, who represented Felt during the revelation of his identity as Deep Throat, shared with Andrew Muller in an exclusive interview that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the so-called journalists behind The Post’s historic Watergate reporting, used the power of media to take down a political rival.
Considering the recent media-created web of lies to entangle President-elect Donald Trump, remembering the truth behind Watergate is more relevant than ever. Throughout American history, mainstream media has manipulated the public to achieve partisan political ends, but to move forward as a nation free of that influence, the people must know the truth behind Watergate.
