Reply #45: I didn't know for quite a while -- but it fit what I felt about Nixon

[k8conant]

I don't even remember hearing much (in Detroit) or even tying in the early convictions (in 1973) with Nixon. I did follow the hearings with Sam Ervin presiding.

Part of Watergate coverage of course was blotted out, I believe, by the charges against Vice President Spiro Agnew and his resignation on October 10, 1973.

I remember the endless talks about the tapes and "where are the missing minutes?".

I was very happy when Nixon resigned on August 8, 1974 (although that in turn blotted out coverage of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus July 20, 1974 - August 14, 1974)

Most of the coverage shows what is still true today: "All the news that fits", that is, space or editorial policy.
