Special Report: Watergate - the untold story - by Carl Bernstein & Bob Woodward

[Jan Klimkowski]

Don't you think Carl Bernstein should be given a little bit of credit for exposing the infiltration of the news publishing media by the CIA?

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

He wrote an article exposing Operation Mockingbird of the CIA in 1977 in ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE.

Woodward and Bernstein articles in the Washington Post led to the Congressional hearings on the Nixon presidency and his eventual resignation before impeachment. The hearings were broadcast every day on television and radio. It was almost as good as the Army-McCarthy hearings years before.

Adele - I'm more ambiguous on Bernstein.

Woodward's career and role is clear and unambiguous.

Here's a question: what do you think prompted Bernstein to investigate intelligence infiltration of the media, and why did he refuse to collaborate with Woodward later in his career?

For the record, yet again, there was no "Deep Throat" as per the official story and Pakula's film.

"Deep Throat" is a perfect example of the form plot device meets criminal necessity meets psyop and takes on a life and vibrancy all its own.

"Deep Throat" is a virus created in a spooky laboratory.

Ii'm surprized it's not part of the KUBARK manual.....
