The Post

Has anyone seen the film The Post? A timely film as it is about Nixon's attempt to subvert the Free Press (which is exactly what Trump is attempting). Watch it then watch the classic All The President's Men as The Post ends where the later film begins and completes the story.

If that is true, then I might give "The Post" another try and get the dvd. I have "All the President's Men" on dvd. I still have not watched all of it yet. I know so little about Nixon's presidency that I should make it a topic of research.

It is true.  Smiley
The Post literally ends where All the President's Men begins.

Not just trump. The aussie govts keep trying to shut down the least biased news source.

I hadn't heard of this movie.

I'll check it out when it comes to Netflix.
