There will always be a generation who will wait until the sound of knocking on the door like Lipman, until the moment when they stand upright in front of the "President", and until the "Glory and Dream" style Chinese writings burst It was born, and waited until the "New York Times"-style Chinese newspaper was hawked loudly on the streets of China, and waited until Woodward and Bernstein-style Chinese reporters became national heroes.

Then, history "ends" in their hands.

——Wu Xiaobo, the

presidential team of "There will always be a generation that will realize our dreams" is talking about movies here. The content hardly needs me to repeat it. The movie tells a true story. This true story attracts people like a movie, so it was shot into a movie. Two reporters, one newspaper, relying on a sense of responsibility as a journalist, facing the pressure of the entire society and the power, they did not yield to investigative reports, and then saw that the president of the United States was far inferior to the "New York City" at the time. In front of the famous newspapers of The Times and The Wall Street Journal, they stepped down sadly.

It is conceivable that during his final term of presidency, how did Nixon viciously curse the two young reporters every night while holding the "Washington Post"? Nixon remembered these two young reporters all his life, and the world also engraved their names in its own history. They are Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.

As you can imagine, as a journalist, I was so excited when I saw this movie. That was a node in the history of world news, a peak that will never be surpassed in the future. Since then, even though it claims to be a liberal and democratic America, the freedom of the press has also been declining. These two young journalists, Bernstein and Woodward, let the politicians know how terrible the power of the media is. .

Freedom of the press is sacred and holy to the weak, but to those in power, it is as annoying as a group of flies buzzing in their ears all day, so he wants to control them.

Therefore, after the Watergate Incident, the "Washington Post" became a major American newspaper with the same reputation as the "New York Times" and other newspapers, but since then there has never been such an exciting and well-known story.

Once the grassroots have the right to speak, they will always lose something.

What else to say? The current society is no longer a society that needs glory and dreams, and the times have changed.

    So-so, such a news system is really enviable.

  • Harry Rosenfeld: I'm not interested in what you think is obvious. I'm interested in what you know. What we don't know is why they wanted to bug Democratic Headquarters.

  • Howard Simons: Harry this isn't a local police story anymore. This is national. We need a top political writer on it.

    Harry Rosenfeld: They don't want it. They're all over the God damn map covering the primaries. Besides this guy has busted his ass!

    Howard Simons: He's been on this paper for only nine months. What's the matter with you?
