Take a look at this exchange about a President and his administration and see if you can guess who it’s about?
Reporter:
“The way they were going to operate was to try to intimidate.”
President’s Mouthpiece:
“Perhaps the place to start looking for a credibility gap is not in the offices of the Government in Washington, but in the studios of the networks in New York.”
Reporter:
“Either you report it our way or we make you pay a price.”
No, that isn’t about Trump. That reporter asking questions was our own Dan Rather and the administration official talking about the media’s credibility was none other than President Richard Nixon’s VP, Spiro Agnew.
With Dan saying “Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now”…this is a #TBT clip that eerily resonates today. It’s a must watch!
