The Watergate Scandal, while shocking at the time, should not discredit President Nixon or the numerous things he achieved during his presidency. To throw everything away solely over this controversy would be unjust. The media is known to blow up government issues to sell more papers and to create gossip. We can relate this scandal to yellow journalism, which took place in the late 1800s to early 1900s. With Nixon, the media focused on the negativity during his presidency instead of reflecting on the good impact he had throughout the world. Yellow Journalism, starting in the 1800s, is when the media focuses on the ‘bad’ news and even creates false headlines to sell more papers and create a bigger story. I do not think the Watergate Scandal was all that it was made out to be, and I certainly do not think Nixon should be classified as a bad president.
