| − | I'm going to assume that all of the video clips and radio broadcasts were the originals, so showing the clips and audio clips of the time brings authenticity to the movie. Seeing as the movie was released only a few years after the scandal dissipated, and two years after Nixon's resignation, it feels real. Nixon's impeachment hearings made history back in the 1970s, and much like 9/11 was to us in 2003, people remember how they felt during that time. It's akin to ''Best Years of Our Lives'' in that it's so close to the event.

Furthermore,''' a lot of people thought DT wasn't as helpful to Woodward, based on the movie.''' I can only imagine the position DT was in, torn between compromising his position at the FBI and doing what is just and patriotic. I also wondered why DT only met with Woodward and not Bernstein, but apparently DT was only Woodward's source and DT never met Bernstein at all during the investigation. This was key when Felt (DT) was asked if he ever leaked information to Woodward AND Bernstein. According to the book, Woodward wondered if Felt denied this and got out of it b/c of a technicality (he only leaked info to Woodward). - David F. |

The dirty tricks worked on Muskie, he wept to the press (in defense of his wife), and his campaign quickly fell apart.

| − | I really loved the way that the news-gathering aspects were handled in this movie. As a fellow news writer, I can say that the need to run everything by an editor, double-check quotes and sources, and find delicate ways to handle delicate subjects (like, say, my meth-dealing landlord) was all accurately depicted. Trust me, you haven't lived until you have a player tell you to "F*** Yourself" in response to a question after a loss. -Cash Nelson | + | I really loved the way that the '''news-gathering aspects''' were handled in this movie.

| − | The movie provides an in depth insight into what life as a reporter could be like. The movie captures the essence of Bernstein and Woodward's constant attempts to gather information and uncover the truth. The movie accurately portrays Bernstein and Woodward’s sources, the depiction of the people in the scandal, and the context of the whole situation. The actual footage from Nixon’s inauguration also adds to the historical accuracy of the film. The film also suggests the consequences of publishing factual and questionable articles and what effect they would have on a newspaper firm, the general public, and even the fate of the Presidency. –James Drury | + | The movie provides an in depth insight into what life as a reporter could be like.
