Bob Woodward

Watergate Scandal The Watergate Scandal happened almost 43 years ago; the event will never be forgotten. The Watergate scandal defined, perhaps for the first time, that a president of the United States could be portrayed as untrustworthy. Richard Nixon ran for a second term in 1972, in which he won by a huge margin. The Democratic Party had their headquarters at the high-end Watergate hotel. The break-in happened on June 17th, 1972, in which a security guard noticed the tape on the door lock

In 1972, the biggest scandal in American politics occurred at the Watergate complex. For years, the struggle to reveal secret of who masterminded this operation occupied the courts in Washington D.C. The Committee for the Re-election of the President (CRP) fought to keep President Richard Nixon 's name clear throughout the confessions of the Watergate burglars and of men inside the White House. From 1972 until 2017, many other national scandals have been publicized to the nation, but current political

The identity of Deep Throat still remains a mystery, although Woodward said of him:      “...He was risking a great deal professionally. You may assume that      in the course of this he was not truthful with colleagues and family

Many people, myself included look up to individuals in an authoritative role such as; senators, governors, and presidents. We view them as being honest and sincere. They have to be right? They do want to run the country after all. Often our thoughts are “they would never lie to us or hide things from us”, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. One of the biggest political scandals to hit the United States of America was the Watergate scandal involving our very own President Richard Nixon.

Role of Journalist Australian writer/journalist Karl Karus said it best when he said, “corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the morals of an individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country.” For decades, the United States has been one the most notable countries to come under fire with reports of government corruption. During the dawn of the new millennium the Transparency Corruption began to publish their Corruption Perceptions Index

Investigative reporting has been a driving force in journalism for centuries. The reporting tradition of revealing misconduct was already well established much before the 20th Century. Its practise even predates the publication of the first successful colonial newspaper in 1704, demonstrating the press’ watchdog role has had deep historical roots in democracy much prior to the 1960s. Over the past three centuries, investigative reporters have tried to make a difference by raising public consciousness

June 17th, 1972 would be a day America would never forget--it was the start of one of the largest scandals in our government. Richard Nixon was president of the United States and the people trusted him. However this trust would be betrayed, as he got involved in something now known as the Watergate Scandal.

Nixon once said, “ I can see clearly now… that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate” ("Watergate Quotes"). The Watergate scandal began when five men attempted to break into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Complex.

Across the planet earth, there are some 196 sovereign countries that each have their own independent ways of ruling the people of their land. Whether it be a monarch, a dictator, or a president, no one in the world beckons such a large power as the President of the United States. This man or woman is in charge of one of the most powerful countries in the world, and that person makes vital decisions daily that could change the fate of their nation they lead so graciously. Through 44 presidents, the

Political leaders will always be talked about no matter what kind of world we are living in. The way they are talked about in the media, however, can make or break their careers as leaders of our country. President Nixon most likely did not want to go down as the president that was apart of one of the biggest political scandals the country has ever seen, and Kwame Kilpatrick did not want to be seen as the mayor that lead to the city of Detroit filing for bankruptcy in 2013. Not everyone gets their
