President Richard Nixon: A Balanced Legacy
With Impact Ratings
From the essay
For me Nixon was always a tragic figure, who was unfairly treated by the media and political establishment, which eventually forced him to resign. The fact that he did resign, elevated him in my eyes and, at the same time, reinforced my sense that something wrong was done to him. There were some suggestions that the entire media was attacking him relentlessly while he had very limited tools to defend himself – Internet and social media were not there yet, the tools that helped Mr. Trump to successfully defend himself in the face of multiple attacks by the media, sometimes fair and sometimes - fragrantly political.
