Watergate Forces the President to His Knees

The Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward’s efforts to uncover the Watergate scandal have helped American people to secure the democratic form of government. Without these two brave reporters, the country will be controlled by a dictator. The methods of gathering information about the scandal were very resourceful. The reporters had to rely on anonymous sources and the Deep Throat to get the information because the scandal has linked to the oval office and President Nixon.
Bernstein and Woodward came from different background and political belief, such as one was republican and the other was democrat, but they all knew that as reporters they had to get the facts right about a event without any fear. When the reporters tried to get the information they needed, the government constantly threaten the Washington post and its reporters; however, the Post still continued to support the coverage of the Watergate scandal despite the government threats. The Post had fulfilled to be an independent monitor of government power.
