Re: "Gee, I never realized Chicago was about Watergate..."

>>> Neither did I, but as the article pointed out, one of the Chicago revivals (like many other cultural events of the times) played off of the Watergate zeitgeist.

>>> What seemed most interesting to me in the "both reached for the gun" article, was the persistent, and pervasive, gullibility and sensationalism of our media... both in the twenties and now.

>>> When news is more driven by sensationalist 'infotainment' values, it's an important thing to note, and helps to destroy the myth of fair-handedness the 'third estate' likes to cloak itself in.
