Woodward and Bernstein had absolutely NO rep prior to Watergate. What made their story was they had an editor, Ben Bradlee, who trusted and believed in them enough to let them dig out the story. Ben Bradlee had an owner with the stones to stand up to the pressure from the Nixonites and let the story develop.

I don't know that we've got that anywhere in the mainline media today. We've had a dozen smoking guns in this administration, but the only people really investigating are bloggers with no resources and tiny audiences.
