Nothing But the Truth

Nothing But the Truth

Fictional stories based on real events in the United States show the conflict between journalists and the state apparatus.

Keywords: CIA, National Security, Source (news clues, source), 1st amendment of the constitution.

Background event: Valerie Plame Case

did not know the background when I watched it. It was a little confused. I only felt that the story was a bit pretentious and deep, and the whole tone was too gray. Depressed, although starring Kate Beckinsale worked very hard, it was still not as impressive as Vera Farmiga, which has not many scenes. There are no shortage of stars in the rest of the supporting roles, and they all performed well.

After understanding the background, I feel that the starting point of the story is a bit strange.

"Nothing But the Truth" is like listening to the fourth-best debater in middle school present a term paper called "Politics, Power and the Media." (KYLE SMITH from New York Post)

    After being popularized by the First Amendment, "Freedom of the press refers to the exemption of prior restrictions on publication, rather than pointing out that the publication can still be exempt from punishment even if it involves criminal issues." Basically, it is my attitude towards Rachel's way of obtaining information, but The government's accountability measures are too extreme, so let's play 50 big boards.

    Correct and practical principles are dialectical and contradictory, and the key depends on what you value. I am glad that I was born in China, not the United States, in this era, and I am also glad that I did not become a social news reporter in the end, because God wanted me to live longer.

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.
