"News serves the people, not those in power?!"

This is one of my favorite films. The dazzling cast, the subtlety of the plot, the drama between the actor and the actress, and the emotional tension that erupted in a few moments are never tire of watching. In fact, I may have actually watched it a hundred times. I always open this film every night in the fragmented time, drag the progress bar to the most exciting climax points, and savor the delicate joy brought by the art of film. .

After the full score, I want to talk about some things outside the film. Yes, I love this film very much, but for the film "news is for the people, not for those in power." The heart of the heart-warming sentence Language - snort. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution paints a beautiful vision, in which "press freedom oversight of those in power, and service to the people" really does it? In the decades following the Watergate milestone, both the Post and the mainstream American media seem to have confirmed: "When reporting international news, if it has an adverse impact on the United States, justice can be lost; when reporting domestic news, if If it is not good for the parties involved in the media, then the objective can also be discarded.”

Maybe we did worse, but in reality they were by no means as good as in the movies.

The Post quotes

  • Roger Clark: If you got the study from the same source, that would amount to collusion.

    Ben Bagdikian: Yeah, we could all be executed at dawn.

    Roger Clark: And we could be held in contempt of court - which means Mr. Bradlee and Mrs. Graham could go to jail. Mr. Bagdikian, how likely is it that your source and the Times source are the same person?

  • Kay Graham: When Phil died it was just - I was 45 years old and I had never held - I never had to hold a job in my life. But, I just, I loved the paper, you know. I do. I do so love the paper. I don't want it to be my fault. I don't want to be the one - I don't want to let Phil and my father and all of you kids and everybody down.
