Well over here in Australia we don't get much in the way of really breaking stories that's why I asked.

Most of our newspapers are owned by Murdoch and he uses his "newspapers" to generate political bias.....  By siding with the conservatives and bashing the other side on a lot of his front pages..

For instance this gem..

Clearly taking the side of the Australian Liberal party (our conservatives don't be fooled by their name) and blasting the other side the Australian Labour party, the more liberal of the two main political parties..

The OP references ''Watergate'' which is an example of government corruption.

The OP references the actions of the ''msm'' which is the mainstream media.

sheesh

My comments about the MSM might be considered ''Soapboxy'' by some so I choose to refrain from specifics...in a respectful way.

In general, the MSM today is not doing a thorough job of investigating corruption (such as Watergate).

Having reviewed your reasoning, I've come around to your way of thinking:  You are well advised not to post in the thread.  smile
