"All the President's Men" is a fascinating look at how investigative journalism once was. Instead of printing first and asking questions later, Woodward and Bernstein, along with their editors, took painstaking efforts at checking and double checking their sources and information prior to printing. It seems a sharp contrast to journalism today that appears to be publish now, ask questions later, and file a retraction in small print even later. This book also is a story of two very opposite reporters and how they pulled together to expose this ultimate arrogance of power and the damage it did to the American democratic process.
