In a guest

in getting Hollywood producers interested in his 1976
film All the President’s Men, which revolves around the investigation into former President Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal, and warns that 45 years
after that politically momentous event, “the truth is again in danger.”

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the Watergate
scandal. Because of my role in the film, some have asked me about the
similarities between our situations in 1972 and 2017.
There are many. The biggest one is the importance of a
free and independent media in defending our democracy.
When President Trump speaks of being in a “running war”

tweets that they’re the “enemy of the American people,” his language takes the Nixon
administration’s false
accusations of “shoddy” and “shabby” journalism to new and dangerous heights.
Sound and accurate journalism defends our democracy. It’s
one of the most effective weapons we have to restrain the power-hungry. I
