The Nixon Administration, itself involved in a coverup, was the victim of a journalistic smoke-screen that prevented mitigation of its criminal guilt. As a result of the paper's successful misdirection, today's strikingly deceptive partisan journalism can be laid at the doorstep of the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter Deep Throat's lawyer, author John O'Connor, discovered that the \u003ci\u003ePost\u003c\/i\u003e had betrayed his client while covering up the truth about Watergate, his indefatigable research resulted in \u003ci\u003ePostgate\u003c\/i\u003e, a profoundly shocking tale of journalistic deceit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an era when numerous modern media outlets rail about the guilt of their political enemies for speaking untruths, \u003ci\u003ePostgate\u003c\/i\u003e proves that the media can often credibly be viewed as the party actually guilty of deception.
