In this episode of SNAFU, hosted by Ed Helms, we explore the 1971 Medburg Heist in Media, Pennsylvania, where activists broke into an FBI office to expose the agency's controversial surveillance tactics. The narrative centers on Washington Post reporter Betty Medsger, who received classified documents detailing the FBI's extensive surveillance of anti-war protesters and civil rights activists. Despite pressures to suppress the story, Medsger's publication significantly altered public perception of the FBI, highlighting the crucial role of investigative journalism in fostering accountability and undermining the Bureau's crafted image under J. Edgar Hoover.
