    Russell Crowe is one of my favorite stars. But the climax of this movie is that it's too unclimatic. For the sake of Russell Crowe, I kept watching. Journalists should be like this, just, persistent~ Also, don't trust...

    It belongs to the movie that has been watched over the years, please continue to watch it. Actually, look at the last 30 minutes. It turned out that I watched it in 2010. After five years, I watched it again. This time I saw the persistence of the news reporter, but I didn't have the slightest impression. I have watched it myself....

    At the end of the day, it is not suitable to watch this type at a time like this today. The dialogue is cut to and fro, and I don't have any intentions. The editing is so fast that I am very dizzy. Go and lose weight, please, Helen Mirren's British accent is still alive. The ending song is good. The assembly line of the newspaper is very...

    freedom of the press

    A case, two kinds of people to investigate, probability speaking, greatly prevent corruption.
    Of course, the premise is freedom of the press.
     
    On the surface, in order to gain more attention, the media will go all out to investigate the truth, which is driven by money and profit.

    This Time is Different

    Today, a buddy from California was excited to show me the power of Twitter: one day he came out of the classroom and smelled a mushy smell in the air, and immediately realized that there must be a fire somewhere. So he immediately searched for keywords on Twitter and found a lot of...

  • Cal McAffrey: The newspaper article he types reads: Three Deaths Tied to Gulf War Army Associate New evidence links Rep. Stephen Collins with the suspect in the killings of three people, including Sonia baker, the congressman's political researcher. When confronted by the Washington Globe with information tying him to suspect Robert Bingham, Collins admitted he had directed his former Army associate to follow Baker after learning that she was secretly on the payroll of military contractor PointCorp. Collins, the chairman of the committee investigating PointCorp's government deals, said he authorized Bingham only "to observe" Baker. He said he never intended for her to be harmed. "He just did it," Collins said of Bingham. "He seemed more upset about what she was doing than I was." When police went to arrest Bingham at his Northern Virginia apartment last night, he was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A rifle was next to his body. Investigators said they believe Bingham pushed Baker to her death under a Metro train earlier this week and later shot two witnesses, Deshaun Stagg and Vernon Sando, to silence them.

  • Cal McAffrey: Mornin'...

    Cameron Lynne: So? Where are we, was he nobbing her or not?

    Cal McAffrey: Morning, Cam...

    Cameron Lynne: That's funny about you. Every time your friend runs for re-election or conducts a hearing, you drop his name to me until we give him some coverage... but he finally does something that actually might sell some newspapers, you render mute. It's, it's - incongruous!

    Cal McAffrey: No, it's not... it's inconsistent.

    Cameron Lynne: Pfff, don't be an ass. What do you think? Those are the ideas for our facelift. I know, I know... it's crap! Our new owners have this odd idea that we ought to be turning a profit.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah, well I hear our online site is doing great. I mean, not that I get to notice that sort of thing. I've been here what, uhh... fifteen years? I use a sixteen year old computer... she's been here fifteen minutes and she can launch a Russian satellite with the gear she's got.

    Cameron Lynne: Yeah, she told me you behaved like a pig.

    Cal McAffrey: That's too strong.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, pig-ish.

    Cal McAffrey: I showed her a little snout, uhuh.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, I happen to like miss Della Frye... and yes, I did send her down there to winkle something out of you. She's hungry, she's cheap and she churns up copy every hour.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah, I now... I'm overfed, I'm too expensive and I take way too long.

    Cameron Lynne: Yes, you do.

    Cal McAffrey: I was Stephen Collins' room-mate in college... I don't live with him now.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, that's a shame isn't it.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah... 'cause I could sell some newspapers.
