This chapter explores the complex legacy of the Watergate scandal through the lens of a former key figure who inexplicably shifted alliances, raising questions about accountability and historical narratives. It critiques the media's role in shaping public perception, particularly focusing on the influential reporting of Woodward and Bernstein, while also addressing the controversial implications of the 'smoking gun' tape. Moreover, it draws parallels between past media dynamics and current issues related to information control and political discourse.
