    Yeah, I think they mean Whitewater, the fake scandal fishing expedition that led to the Lewinsky thing…

      No they meant watergate, Roger Ailes, the founding CEO of Fox News, was Nixon’s media guy during watergate.

          For sure, but Watergate was specifically the spark that inspired them.

          The comment you replied to included the caveat “eventually”, but the whitewater scandal was almost the opposite, as it was largely the right wing looking for scandals to promote on places like Fox News.
