NICK BRYANT ON LOU DOBBS TONIGHT (5-15-24)

Discussing Nick’s new book, THE TRUTH ABOUT WATERGATE: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, available at TrineDay.com and the usual sellers.

The Watergate delusion is that swashbuckling Bob Woodward and the left confronted the malevolent Nixon administration and slayed it with the lance of truth, thereby saving democracy.

But the actual evidence demonstrates that Watergate was not a shining example of democracy, and Woodward’s place among the pantheon of journalistic immortals is a grift.

One of the grand deceptions is that Nixon’s enemies on the left razed his presidency, but it was actually his enemies on the right — the far right — who initially had the means, motive, and opportunity.

And while Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein told many lies throughout their Watergate reporting, Woodward’s Big Lie was that he didn’t meet Alexander Haig until 1973.

THE TRUTH ABOUT WATERGATE demonstrates that Woodward’s lie about Haig has seismic implications. Had his lie been exposed, the mythologies of Bob Woodward and “Deep Throat” would have been shattered and swept away by gusts of veracity.

The Washington Post has scorned prior Watergate revisionist books, like SILENT COUP: The Removal of a President, as a conspiracy theory, but THE TRUTH ABOUT WATERGATE shows The Washington Post has many motives for banishing SILENT COUP to the conspiracy theory ghetto, and that Nixon’s downfall was indeed a silent coup.
