Additionally, most Republicans in Congress supported Nixon until the tapes came out...
However, there are two big differences:
1) There was no Fox News around at the time - the news was generally balanced. And, RW talk radio didn't dominate the airwaves like it does today.
2) In 1973, Democrats had solid majorities in both the House and the Senate. I believe the House majority was a bit more than what Republics have now, despite the huge landslide that Nixon won in 1972, and Dems held the Senate with 56 or 57 seats, I believe.
