Open a report. So, throughout the film, Rachel is protecting the agent's daughter. If she confesses her daughter from the very beginning, she will not only lose the society's credibility with reporters, but also make her daughter live in the shadow of betraying her mother. Of course she could clarify the truth, but she gave up, maybe she was maintaining the dignity of a reporter, or maybe she didn't want her little daughter to fall into self-blame and guilt in her life. But the ending is always a million times better than keeping your mouth shut. However, as the movie says, it is necessary to insist that the truth comes first, reporters keep silent in order to protect the informant, and perhaps the identity of the agent will be a riddle from now on. It is easy for the film to arouse people's pursuit of truth, criticism and irony of the US government, and recognition of the profession of a journalist in the sacrifice and struggle of the heroine, but a very confounding thing is that the little girl asked Rachel. , don't tell the secret; yet Rachel reported it anyway. This is of course a pursuit of truth and justice, but she still hasn't fulfilled her promise to the little girl. Is it also a deviation from your professional quality and core ethics? The truth is not easy to perceive and discover, or the truth itself is an imaginary concept. However, in the face of power and professionalism and conviction, any coercion and inducement must be pale and powerless, and any language will appear superfluous. Although in the process of perseverance, your family is ruined and you are no longer brave and young, but you must always pursue justice and light in your heart. Shao Piaoping, a newspaperman in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, once said, "Iron shoulders shoulder morality, and articles are hard to write." Perhaps this is the value of journalists' existence. It's not a racetrack, it's not a messenger, it's the revealer of the truth, the announcer of the truth. Promise with little girl.

It is their responsibility to keep journalists ahead of the facts, and it should be the pursuit of every journalist.

    The female reporter played by Kate Beckinsale is an idiot typical American movie ps. Great ending

    Compared to the ups and downs of the story, the movie seems gorgeous. An individual, especially a female reporter, is how easily his life can be destroyed and how easily his energy is consumed in the face of power; the resistance of daily life is easier said than done. ps1. Your partner must have the same values, otherwise you can't really hurt; 2. Alan in "The White House" is the most suitable to play the barrister, someone with a presidential image! ╭(╯3╰)╮

Nothing But the Truth quotes

  • Ray Armstrong: [staring at his wife's new story] You made the top page!

  • Alan Burnside: [In front of the Supreme Court] In 1972 in Branzburg v. Hayes this Court ruled against the right of reporters to withhold the names of their sources before a grand jury, and it gave the power to the Government to imprison those reporters who did. It was a 5-4 decision, close. In his dissent in Branzburg, Justice Stewart said, 'As the years pass, power of Government becomes more and more pervasive. Those in power,' he said, 'whatever their politics, want only to perpetuate it, and the people are the victims.' Well, the years have passed, and that power is pervasive. Mrs. Armstrong could have buckled to the demands of the Government; she could've abandoned her promise of confidentiality; she could've simply gone home to her family. But to do so, would mean that no source would ever speak to her again, and no source would ever speak to her newspaper again. And then tomorrow when we lock up journalists from other newspapers we'll make those publications irrelevant as well, and thus we'll make the First Amendment irrelevant. And then how will we know if a President has covered up crimes or if an army officer has condoned torture? We as a nation will no longer be able to hold those in power accountable to those whom they have power over. And what then is the nature of Government when it has no fear of accountability? We should shudder at the thought. Imprisoning journalists? That's for other countries; that's for countries who fear their citizens - not countries that cherish and protect them. Some time ago, I began to feel the personal, human pressure on Rachel Armstrong and I told her that I was there to represent her and not her principle. And it was not until I met her that I realized that with great people there's no difference between principle and the person.
