was the Watergate Scandal really that big of a deal?

Yes indeed it was. The President of the United States and his advisors spied on the offices of the Democratic party using electronic bugs. This is absolutely unethical.
 
I was about 10 or so when Watergate erupted. I remember the investigation taking place on the television every day. It really shook up people's faith in the government of the US.
 
YEAH!
It was a huge deal. People nowadays even mention it and relate bad people to Nixon. All of the court cases were televised, and people would set out time to watch them, making it a family affair at night.
Nixon just really exposed how bad presidents could be, and it just opened the eyes of the nation.
