After taking the blame and resigning from the White House, Nixon has remained silent in front of the public and the media. He has not made any comments on the Watergate incident or expressed any repentance. After three years of this, in the summer of 1977, the president with great vision finally agreed to sit in the studio and talk about what happened during his presidency: the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the Apollo landing on the moon, and the armistice in Vietnam. ——Of course, there is also the famous Watergate incident that ruined his presidential career. But to Nixon's surprise, the TV station chose British journalist Foster as his interviewer. Nixon was lucky, because Foster looked polite and amiable, and seemed to be able to get through without much effort this time.
At this time, Fox's interview team also knew Nixon's wit and cunning, and they were also sweating about whether Foster could successfully complete the interview. One party wants to reveal the truth, the other wants to conceal the facts; one party wants to appeal to the public, and the other party does not want to make public scandals-the two-person team is making indispensable preparations for the upcoming interview.
When the lights in the studio started to turn on, the camera hung on the rocker started to operate, and the TV signal began to be broadcast across the United States: this TV interview gradually became a cat-and-mouse game, an arena of intelligence and eloquence. A court of conscience and morality. The climax of the interview came when Nixon admitted that "I let the American people down" and "Once the president eavesdropped, it means eavesdropping is no longer illegal." This interview eventually became the most classic interview in the history of American news
