36. One big difference IMO
is that in Nixon's days the MSM was not totally sold out to corporate America, so that we could count on getting at least some pressure from that corner. Today I think that any critical coverage we get of the Bush Administration is either because the media itself feels pressured to provide at least some semblance of balance, or because some brave reporter is willing to risk his or her job in order to show some integrity. I believe that if we had the same MSM that we had in Nixon's day, Bush would be dead meat by now, if not out of office (of course he could never have gotten enough votes to steal the election in the first place.)
