All the President’s Men (40th Anniversary Edition)
Bernstein and Woodward published All the President’s Men a mere three months before Nixon’s resignation. It is the story of the story, the step by step look at how these intrepid journalists spent years doggedly tracking the story behind a seemingly simple break-in that became the Watergate scandal and, eventually, toppled a President. We’re revisiting (or visiting for the first time) this classic work of political journalism in the wake of the many callbacks since the 2016 Presidential election. Are dirty tricks just part of politics? What role does the press play? Are there parallels to the Trump administration?
Featuring host Jeffery Jenkins (@jaj7d ?), and guests Aubrey Hicks (@AubreyHi), Lisa Schweitzer (@drschweitzer), and Donnajean Ward (@DonnajeanWard).
