The post has never been able to say what it wants. It's only when it's safe to put a head on a pike that it does it. Nixon wasn't crucified for the genocide in Cambodia (I don't have another word for a bombing campaign that was projected to kill 20% of the countries population by the CIA) he was crucified for having fucked with the other powerful people in the US. Watergate wasn't even a blip compared to what Hoover did to the anti-war left, organized labor and organized anti-racism [0]. What was so bad about it is that it targeted people with power who could fight back. Journalists are being told that there is a new set of powerful people they need to be careful around and they haven't gotten the message yet. The current generation without the instinct to walk softly around big tech will be run out of journalism the same way that those who didn't understand they needed to walk softly around robber barons and not just land owners in the gilded age were. Trump, like Nixon, seems like an aberration to these people because he, again like Nixon, did not treat their sacred cows with the respect they expect. He treated them like he treated everyone. Interestingly enough Trump was a lot more successful at it, which means that they have lost a lot of power since Nixon was in power.
