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. Americans today mistrust the major media more than ever. \u003ci\u003ePostgate\u003c\/i\u003e will prove that this distrust is richly deserved.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49531246149905,"sku":"CIN1642932590G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51121914544401,"sku":"CIN1642932590VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1642932590.jpg?v=1751343392","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/postgate-book-john-o-connor-9781642932591","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
