I do agree that a huge difference is 24 x 7 cable and the Internet.
I do remember that some of the Watergate hearings were shown on live television in the days before cable TV.
Watergate was a 5 or 10 minute story on the national news plus whatever was in the Detroit News or Free Press except for REALLY big news.
Didn't have CNN Breaking News 10 - 20 times a day.
