He had his fans, though. One was my cousin-in-law who I really liked but the way he would castigate the press hit a nerve with her. She didn't like reporters like Dan Rather who were "not respectful" to the president. You know, the office deserves respect, etc. I loved her dearly but she was wrong. It was ironic - Agnew and Nixon deserving respect. The criticism "proved the press was biased."
