I would like to start out by saying that the Watergate Scandal is possibly one of the biggest stories ever uncovered by the press. From what first appears one may say that two journalist for the Washington Post brought down the President of the United States. That would be false. In the article I read about the Watergate Scandal, it explains how the two journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein produced "The single most spectacular act of serious journalism [of the 20th] century," said media critic Ben Bagdikian. Or did they? Everyone knows the story. Five men were caught placing bugging technology in the Democratic Party headquarters and soon after the men were linked to Nixon the president resigned along with 70 other cabinet members. The question is did Woodward and Bernstein actually reveal this by themselves?
