All the President’s Men

The Watergate scandal is something that I have only been vaguely familiar with for a long time. It was a nice opportunity to watch this film about how the scandal was brought to the public’s attention. It demonstrates how powerful journalists can be, and also how big of a risk they can be taking – not only the journalists themselves, but also their editors and the newspaper as a whole. Such daring and investigative journalism, gone wrong, can certainly leave for damaged or even destroyed reputations. However, gone right, a journalist can go down in history for uncovering something important.
