Watergate at 50

Fifty years ago today (17 June 1972), operatives of the Committee to Re-Elect the President were apprehended while burglarizing the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate office complex in Washington, DC, leading to the eventual resignation of Richard Nixon in August, 1974 in the face of near-certain impeachment and conviction on charges of obstruction of justice for his role in events related to the break-in and its subsequent cover-up.

It's also the anniversary of OJ's famous Bronco ride, which you might not think is the kind of event that ranks high on the Memorable scale, but it seemed to rivet the country anyway. Thank the fates for Court TV.

I think Court TV does a great service, it exposes the bias of the liberal mainstream media. Nothing was more apparent than watching the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Watching Court TV he was obviously innocent. They provide complete coverage of the proceedings and they have talking heads from both sides of the argument. Coverage how it should be.

Almost six months before the election which Nixon won in spite of the break-in. It was the cover-up that was Nixon's downfall. He became an accessory after the fact.
