    Watergate was covered by journalists; these “articles” are written by clickbait engagement employees.

      I think the movie “The Post” did a good job highlighting the corruption within journalists/media as well. It’s not a historical accurate retelling people ensure to point out but it addresses how individuals get tied into closer relationships with politicians which gets them scoops which inevitably make them more money and promotions, but those can be tied to not asking the hard questions, and not wanting to hurt ties/friendships they form along the way.

      Then again, most Tom Hanks movies end up being pretty good. Movies like “A Man Called Otto” always surprise me.
