Deep Throat

I'm getting angry at the news, a very bad sign most of the time. Consider this (if you're totally news-deprived): We have the man who ratted out Nixon the president of all presidents, sworn with his news source to secrecy. But then, realizing money is at stake, he accepts Vanity Fair's offer, when the first and privvy reporter was for the Post. What a bunch of backstabbing idiots. Look and see what you've done Mr. Felt. He's put Mr. Woodward, the exposing journalist almost to shame, and as far as the family of Felt goes, well I just don't know. Seems too money-grabbing for so many years of silence, and some think him a hero.

I talked to my dad about it, wondering what people thought at that time, considering he was alive then, and he said that he couldn't really care one way or another. But he remembers people loving Nixon (I guess the peace signs really do it), and they were dissapointed to see their "all-american" boy shot to hell. And resigning after the whole fiasco nonetheless, something he had to do considering the amount of illegal activity going on at the time. So America is dissapointed at this "Deep Throat" character, a member of the political areas, seeing all the papers fly by, and telling the reporter - to follow the money.

It's always about the money isn't it? What a f-ing shame I say. Arg.
