Gotta give those guys a break!
I was commenting that during my lifetime it seems like some sort of investigation is ongoing affecting both parties. I would be inclined to believe my parents would have similar recollections. My grandparents I'm not sure.
Purely subjective but, I do believe with the advent of 24 hour cable news coverage, the increase of internet news outlets, and social media the political parties and their political advisers are becoming more adept at using the media to their advantage. So I believe we are probably more exposed to the information. But, I'm not sure the political investigations and/or scandals are occurring at an increased rate.
Back in my Army days I learned a phrase, "Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations." I always believed it came from SERE school. Later, I learned the phrase was coined by political consultant, Roger Stone.
