The movie "The Post" related to current political climate

Tweet

I just finished watching the movie "The Post". I believe it hits so many things that are concerning the social political climate today. It's so unbelievable how history repeats itself. In my opinion, Nixon is a definite example of what our current "leader"(I've stated in the past that I will always refuse to say his name) is doing today with his so called "fake news" outcry. "The Post" was a movie about the "The Washington Post" in the time during the Nixon administration & the Vietnam war in the 1970's. With the way social media has dissolved the truth in the "news", no one is truly holding the current "resident" at the White House accountable for his actions. The fear and the unbelief of his followers of the "truth" has made it almost impossible to file impeachment charges against him. The movie "The Post" showed that Nixon did things against Congress' approval and the Superior Court stood with the newspapers when they were brought up on charges for leaking classified documents. Nixon wanted to shut down the media in reporting things that were possibly negative against him just like our current "leader" likes to say everything's "fake news" when things are reported negatively about him. In the movie the publisher and the editor of the time stood firm that the people had the right to know. The Superior Court stood with the constitution about the rights of freedom of speech. "The Post" was a good movie depicting things from history. There's so much evidence that our current "leader" has been treasonous with dealing with Russians in the elections but still nothing is being charged on that front. There's evidence that he's cheated on his taxes among other things and still no charges have been brought up on these things. I just don't understand. Things were so much different in history when it came to holding government officials accountable. Money is more important now more than ever doing the right thing.
