NEW YORK, NY—After 50 years, the New York Times has finally confirmed the authenticity of the Watergate tapes that brought down the Nixon Presidency.
"For a long time, we all assumed the tapes were Russian disinformation designed to sow chaos and confusion," said Editor-in-Chief Dean Baquet. "But then after watching a few documentaries and reading the Wikipedia page on the subject, we're able to say with 98% certainty that they're probably real."
Investigators now believe the Times sat on the tapes for several months to protect President Nixon before The Washington Post got ahold of the tapes and broke the story themselves.
When confronted about the corruption and malpractice of sitting on a bombshell story to protect a political candidate, Baquet replied "What do you expect? We're the ones who reported in 1939 that Poland invaded Germany. You shouldn't take us seriously. We're basically satire at this point."
The New York Times later confirmed they are also close to verifying the authenticity of Monica Lewinsky's blue dress.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
