Simple question: Is this crisis worse than Watergate?

38. No, never got to the garage.

I've read the book, and I have it on hold with my local library because it needs a reread. Also rewatched the movie recently.

I'd forgotten that the book came out a couple of months before Nixon's resignation. The movie, because it came out later, of course fills in what happens after the book.

Since I didn't read the NYTimes, my ignorance of their reporting is somewhat forgivable, I hope. But I do recall being aware in those early months that almost no other paper was covering the Watergate stuff, and the Post took a lot of heat for that. I suspect that any scoops the NYT came up with, helped the overall coverage a great deal.

I believe that once the Watergate hearings commenced, there was a lot of coverage everywhere. Again, I was living in the DC area and didn't read other papers.
