In this episode of UNBIASED University, we examine some of the biggest government scandals in United States history and the lasting impact they had on political accountability and the structure of government oversight. In Part I, we walk through four major scandals that reshaped American politics in different ways: the Credit Mobilier scandal of the 1870s, the Teapot Dome scandal of the 1920s, the release of the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War, and the Watergate scandal that ultimately led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Along the way, we explain what happened in each case, how the scandals were uncovered, and what changed in government as a result. Get the facts, without the spin. UNBIASED offers a clear, impartial recap of US news, including politics, elections, legal news, and more. Hosted by lawyer Jordan Berman, each episode provides a recap of current political events plus breakdowns of complex concepts—like constitutional rights, recent Supreme Court rulings, and new legislation—in an easy-to-understand way. No personal opinions, just the facts you need to stay informed on the daily news that matters. If you miss how journalism used to be, you're in the right place.
