Deep Throat
Glenn links to this report that reveals the identity of Deep Throat to be a former FBI official. My question- does this then mean that Woodward and Bernstein really didn't do anything particularly special? I know they are treated as patron saints by most media members and are given credit for 'bringing down the Nixon presidency' but if the above story is true, didn't the FBI actually use the media to bring down Nixon? Seems to me that the machinations of democracy simply worked as they were meant to.
