Watergate - Nixon Walks

Woodward himself had this to say, if perhaps in earthier terms, but emphatic, the press did not bring down nixon. And michael getler, the ombesman whom i mentioned a moment ago, that ultimately it was not the post, but the fbi, a congress acting in bi partisan fashion and the courts that brought down the nixon administration. So why does this persist? Why does the heroic journalist interpretation of watergate persist in light of the post's principles dismissing this notion?"
