The Watergate Story Is a Political Scandal, Not a Criminal Conspiracy

In the months leading up to the election, the average washintom bureau had no one working full time on the watergate story. But there was another reason the story didn't capture the attention of news outlets. The white house fought very, very effectively to discredit the people telling it. And that is exactly what i believe and what i feel is taking place here. This is a political effort by the washington post, well conceived and coordinated,. To discredit administration and individuals in it.
