14. Definitely. Iran/Contra was much worse than Watergate, but the media trivialized it.
I remember all the comments about how snappy Ollie North looked in his uniform, and what a hottie Fawn Hall was, but nary a word on the priests and nuns and little kids that were murdered because of him, and little talk of the fact that he SOLD WEAPONS TO OUR TERRORIST ENEMIES.


It was infuriating then and it's just more of the same now.

:(
