He resigned because if he stood trial, he would have been found guilty with MAYBE some jail time/house arrest. So his VP pardoned him instead. What an “amazing” justice system we’ve always had, that NEVER holds its leaders to anything more critical, than public scrutiny. Go USA, go.

Wish we had that type of reporters now at the big media companies. There are too few and they have been branded as traitors by the buffoon in the White House. Thank you Rachel for carrying on.

Few and fucking far between these days.

No

Back when we had real journalists who weren't afraid of the espionage act #obama or being arrested, killed or families threatened for doing their constitutional freedom of the press jobs.

KEPP SEPAING TRUTH TO MALIGNANT POWER AND ALL GRIFTERS

Back when the WaPo was a real newspaper...

Back when WAPO was a first-class newspaper, before Jeff Bezos got his hands on it.

I remember.

The Occupy Democrats stamp is doing a lot of the work. The history is messier than the caption Wrong night, wrong speech, Hollywood ending. The photo is 4/73. Nixon quit in 8/74 after the tapes & Congress🚫not after 2 reporters & a movie 🎥 Woodward called the ‘we brought him down’ story horseshit.

12 years after Trump came to power and started walking all over your Constitution, yet nobody has made a movie or even a mini TV series about all of it or even ANY of it?Been watching the disintegration of this "shining city on a hill" in amazement and sadness.

Don't forget the Colorado newspaper that broke the story on Lauren Boebert's sex scandal yesterday. There is still good journalism happening.

Our son was just week from birth. I looked at his resignation as a move in the right direction, Gerald Ford notwithstanding.

I wish it could happen now with Trump. He’s soooooo corrupt.

It's too bad we can't count on the integrity of MSM anymore.

I remember. That’s when the media wasn’t owned by amoral corporations and billionaires who whose sole interest was propagandizing & making huge profits, but by individuals who were committed to doing their jobs & informing the public of legitimate news/facts/ current events on a daily basis.

We know he's creating his own fake news. We know he's guilty. But somehow, we can't get him out of office like Nixon, who just looks easy next to him. He's like Miss Trunchbull. Just be so outrageous nobody believes you, and you can pick up a girl by the hair and throw her over the fence.

We need journalists like these two!!!

Highest praise to Woodward, Bernstein, et al., and also to Sen. Howard Baker and others who eventually realized that there was a criminal conspiracy organized by the White House and actually decided that this was not OK.

Fucking disgraceful. We need FULL criminal accountability for Netanyahu, Trump, Biden, Bush.

It's too late, baby, now it's too late...the ballots are already out. Got mine Friday. Taking it in person tomorrow and turning it in. FDJT ‼️

USPS can delay delivery of mail-in ballots. Go to a Dropbox instead or go in person.

i expect that he'll do an Executive order declaring all mail in Null & Void. He's constantly breaking the law with his Exec. orders and no one doesn anything at all

Honestly, it goes back to not aggressively remaking the South after the Civil War. Perpetrators of treason have rarely faced consequences in this nation.

It’s still available

Great foresight.

Ain't that the truth. Nixon walked, and we been paying for that mistake since.

So who’s our Woodward & Bernstein?

Nixon's wrongdoings were small fry in comparison to Trump, and remember that Trump thinks the only mistake Nixon made was resigning. The difference between then and now is not just journalism. Nixon was ultimately forced out by the party. This time the GOP are complicit. Money over morals.

Pity there are none like in the US today. Just a bunch of gutless lap dogs who should be ashamed of their current behaviour.

Compared to 🍊 slob, Nixon was a choir boy.

If you put steel wool into his little hole, he won’t be able to chew to make the hole bigger and re-enter.

Bahahaha! He's not going to gracefully lose. Do you not remember Jan6? Think about that and then think about all the cronies that are in on it now vs 5yrs ago. Y'all better be ready, because there no way he is ceding an iota of power without a fight.

Although I remember it well, was not aware of the dangers they faced. Must have been naive to believe that the First Amendment actually meant something.

Defend your statement please

I remember this vividly & believed reporters were the most brave of any other occupation. They were heroes & beloved by the American people. They were honored & films were made to celebrate their intelligence & courage. Newspapers were respected. Time to rise up & speak truth to power once again.

The only problem is that tRump would never resign. It's impossible for his broken psyche to allow him to do that. He can't show weakness.

We're all supposed to help the nation survive, not a political party interested only in itself.

When the impeachment proceedings went to the House Judiciary Committee, every single Republican voted against impeachment. If the Republicans had a majority, impeachment would have ended. Republicans began turning on Nixon once he became unpopular, just like how Democrats turned on Jimmy Carter.

Great day! I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing.

Sadly, their type of journalism is mostly dead in this day and age.

Imagining them fist bumping at the end of the broadcast

Ford pardon helped make this 💩 happen 😡

Thank you for posting this critical reminder that a free and courageous press is necessary I watched 2 episodes of Newsroom, All the President’s Men and The Post yesterday to reinforce that.

Donnie won’t resign He loves the life of chaos A true addict to it Some say psycho Sociopath Malignant Narcissistic to the tee Others criminal Into Corruption Rapist Fraudster Grifter practitioner Amoral PedoPhile Sore loser promoting onto others guy

🎯

Why is this lying criminal pedo malignant narcissist thief still in office? He and those around him should all be jailed for Treason against the United States. May his end come quickly 🪦⚰️☠️🙏🤞💙

Trump won't resign. He may go into exile in Qatar but he won't resign.

American heroes all! The Founders knew the importance of unvarnished journalism so protected it in the 1st Amendment.

🙌🙌👍👍❤️❤️

Nixon was low level street crime compared to President Meeeeeee.

America stands united with the free press. On the other hand we want trump and Vance to step down.

Courage is often just the refusal to let the fear of the void outweigh the need for a deadline. The archive is the only thing that outlasts the threat.

Yes, they are all dead..

It was an injustice that he was pardoned.

To My United American Family,* It is imperative that we support for CNN, MSNOW, Politico and every journalist in every corner of the USA. FUNGI DICK'S BAN ON THE PRESS AFFECTS EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN. TUMP MUST SEE AND FEEL OUR OUTRAGE🤬🤬 *We are all related by our love for the US fucking A!

Out of the many thousands of reporters and editors still working today (in spite of the economic collapse of the news business thanks to social media), how many are not "carrying on"? Be specific.

Every journalist out there should listen to Lara trump sing her 2023 hit, "I Won't Back Down" and do the in-depth reporting they're paid to do. 🤣🤣 I made myself laugh. I said Lara trump hit song. 🤣🤣

👍

Never thought we’d be here. Only independent journalists and a rare few others carry on. And it all started with Fox!

Now is the hour of our greatest need. Our nation needs truth telling, hard hitting, fact checkers now more than ever! #FreePress=FreeSpeech

Back when reporters like these had balls to go after a criminal President.Not so much now.Most of the MSM have lost the thread on what it means to be a real journalist & ask the hard questions & holding truth to power.Not like some of these obsequious current crop of journalists seeking access!WTF?

Republicans, as a whole, had a sliver of honesty and integrity back then.

Whoa. News to me

Where are the Journalists who a movie will be made about in 20 years?? Looking for hero's rn!

I remember when "Deepthroat" was just a movie...

I remember!

Nixon's forced resignation horrified and enraged the economic and political elite. The plebian masses had used journalism and integrity to dare hold their "betters" to account, and the aristocracy would never let that happen at such magnitude ever again. Since then, journalism has been under attack.

Yep I remember it very well... back when more people were sane and responsible and moral... back when those who broke the law paid for it.

Imagine if Bezos had owned The WaPo then.

Integrity and perseverance. Rare qualities in today's media--both social and professional.

They were definitely the best!!

Wasn't that back when we had a First Amendment?

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” -Nelson Mandela

Should also be remembered it was The Post that exposed it. It wouldn't happen today under Bezos's ownership.

Exactly! Then there’s Donny McStupid’s idea of FAKE news. Oh we know who’s all FAKE news now don’t we! You moron!

once we had both

Nope

You and I can.

Plus Nixon was a Quaker, his religion should have been the deterrent factor here! 🥴

I remember it well. There was a White House 'enemies' list of ppl Nixon wanted to get rid of. It included a lot of prominent journalists. But then news organizations weren't owned by big corporations back then either www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih22...

You're right. Great journalism will triumph again over this president too.

🎯👏👏. We HAVE to IMPEACH them all!

Once Americans looked to journalists for truth … now they have become an extension of Trumps PR machine and as such have been made practically redundant. How the mighty have fallen!

Thank you, Woodward and Bernstein.

That is a beautiful picture...

Trump should pay attention, but he’s not smart enough to resign!

The First Amendment stopped Nixon. The First Amendment will stop the fake president Donald J. Trump before he destroys the rule of law and sells off America's heartland. While Trump is abusing power, he is also trying to destroy the centre of America's Democracy, the Oval Office. Trump is a traitor!

How bigoted to use God in this context and deny and defame Him the rest of the time. This is fake religiosity. Not to mention the fake news of today.

Waiting for this to be our current administration

That I know is around the corner ! History repeats itself...this will a matter of time. He will not survive his term. He will resign in the next 5 months or just keel over. He is sick. Anyways.

Nixon could be shamed. tRump has NO SENSE OF SHAME!

So. Now they’ve found out that backing down to the president in the beginning was not only the wrong thing to do, it was galactically stupid!

Not crickets, much worse. Shrugs and hand-wringing. Much louder.

Crickets from the media, chile. That's crimes daily and the coverage is a whisper, period.

You expect them to report the sun rose every morning as well?

👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

Lived through it as well . . . And THAT IT IS WORSE NOW. You go reporters, you go. Save us with the TRUTH as you did in the past.

Nixon established the EPA and several other things that are still enforced today and have been beneficial for the country. Trump won't even be able to take credit for anything he did as beneficial to the country.

Didn’t Woodward sit on trumps story about covid until his book was released?
