Watching "Watergate: Blueprint of a Scandal" on Max, and realizing that we think FP45 is far worse than Nixon, but one episode in and it becomes clear FP45 is using the same blueprint but with different organizing principles.

The Nixon administration wanted the CIA to continue to pay the salaries of the burglars and the CIA balked because it then would have looked like THEY WERE INVOLVED.

It gets really wild when you start the thought experiment of "What if Fox News existed in the time of Nixon?" Interestingly, the whole Watergate thing is a big part of what motivated Roger Ailes to start Fox News.
