I'm old enough to remember when Carl Bernstein & Bob Woodward made a factual error in one of their stories during their Watergate reports & were so disparaged that they considered resigning, but Ben Bradlee said, "We stand by our story." Remember how that turned out? #Journalism

While the movie is factual, I would highly recommend👉🏽READING the BOOK, "All The President's Men," by Carl Bernstein & Bob Woodward. It goes into more detail on this & other incidents. I also suggest "Watergate’s Legacy and the Press: The Investigative Impulse,” by Jon Marshall.

Check out this 2017 article by Jon Marshall, assistant professor at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, and the author of the book, "Watergate’s Legacy and the Press: The Investigative Impulse."

Also, if you've never seen it (or if it's been awhile), re-watch the movie, "All The President's Men" normally and then re-watch it AGAIN with the commentary feature and you'll get some additional insight. There are LOTS of parallels to what's happening today.
