around the time of the First World War. They didn't report on Warren Harding in the early 1920s. He was right there behind Kennedy, I would have to say. Really? All of his women. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had several mistresses. Everyone knew. And then, of course, the worst was JFK.

And reporters would come into a hotel suite, see some naked actress running around or lying on the bed, and they were not allowed to report it. Now, what changed this was a few events. The Vietnam War really shook journalism, and the reporters realized how they were being lied to. Teddy Kennedy goes careening off a bridge, swims to safety, and leaves the young woman he was with to drown.

That really shook a lot of journalists who knew for years he was just a drunken mess, waiting to harm someone, and they had never reported it. And then the final nail in the coffin of of this hands-off approach to President's sexual peccadillas was Watergate. And after that, journalists felt that presidents were not to be protected and respected, but to be investigated.
