TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARMSNBC / First Read:
Richard Nixon’s reputation takes a fresh pounding every time the National Archives releases another batch of audio tapes from his presidency, and today’s opening of nearly 200 hours of Nixon White House recordings is no exception.
Again and again, Nixon comes across as ruthless, cynical and profane in conversations with staff members.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
