       Dustin Hoffman (left) and the late Robert Redford (right) play the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story of Nixon’s Watergate break-in.Future generations will find it hard to believe that The Washington Post was once a great and fearless newspaper.

       @zeldman or that Presidents were once held to, er, any kind of standard at all?

       @zeldman Such a great movie. About 6 years ago I was stopped at a light on a small hill in Arlington, Virginia about a half mile from the Key Bridge to DC and about four blocks from where I first lived with I moved to the DC area. I look up and there is a historical marker in front of a garage. Yep, the Deep Throat garage.

       @zeldman This film was so intensive and important for me, that I watched it again eight years later, when it had a lasting influence on me during my journalism training.

       @zeldmanIt's "fun" to look back at 70s conspiracy thrillers to see how they each aged.A newspaper story brings down a US President? Aye right.A corruption-hating cop with a hippie girlfriend? GTFO, Serpico.All communications recorded and analysed by the secret services? We can have that Conversation.

       @zeldman Saw this for the first time a few days ago. Such a great film. I feel like this was the blueprint for Zodiac and Spotlight. Mark Ruffalo and Downey Jr are basically aping Hoffman’s character.

       @zeldman I think “briefly” rather than “once”. It’s one of only two high spots in Ben Bradlee’s career as editor and the story was published only after his resistance was overcome.

       @zeldman Wait — a US president had to step down because he was involved in criminal activities? Those #SciFi movies 🍿😅

       @zeldman Yeah, but would they have done the same if a DEM scandal was in the offing AT THE TIME?IOW was the WAPOs courage "in principle"? (I'm asking, I don't know)
