Washington Post had one good year breaking the Watergate scandal. Like a drug addict, they've been chasing that dragon ever since, even going as far as manufacturing controversy so they can slay the
windmilldragon.I can't elaborate on the lore intelligently or even recall the source (Tucker Carlson?), but my understanding is that even the Watergate reporting was a glowie op.
Supposedly the guy lauded for breaking the story was a rookie journo with a background in naval intelligence IIRC.
Apparently people in the know opine that there's no way the reporter could've developed the story organically.
