All The President’s Men
Imagine this for second, considering our day and age: Two journalists with a spine and real conviction, unravel scandal in a government’s highest office, and follow the story for weeks until it is completely and truthfully told and the responsible people are held accountable. All this with their editor’s support, who do not think to that the other side needs to be heard or succumb to the pressure of the twenty-four hour news cycle.
Imagine that. Functioning journalism.
