In the first case, it’s not simply a theory if it’s proven to be true.
Your big bad wolf conspiracy is too all-encompassing to be a proven fact.

So, you want to emphasize the seriousness of Watergate but ignore the big picture of the corruption multiplied today? Expect to be called out.
And why are you focusing on one side of the corruption?

Tell me about an episode of recent Republican corruption on par with Watergate, much less the Hunter Biden laptop or Hillary Clinton orchestrating the Russian collusion hoax, just to name two.

I'm going to guess that any Republican wrongdoing would be dismissed by you as a part of the falsehoods created by the "oligarchy". The last Republican president was impeached twice and is under investigation by multiple agencies. Ten or so of Trump's associates have been charged with crimes or have done time from politically related crimes. To believe that the Democrats are the party of corruption and the Republicans are now above doing anything seriously wrong is ridiculous.

I'm a sucker for any movie about journalism. All The President's Men is one of the ones that had a huge impact on journalism students. Others that were influential to students like me in that decade, are:

Absence of Malice (1981)
Killing Fields (1984)
Network (1976)
The Year of Living Dangerously (1982)
Under Fire (1983)

Some of my more recent favorites are:

Spotlight (2015)-yes, I'm a protestant.
Zodiac (2007)
Nightcrawler (2014)
The Girl With the Drogon Tattoo trilogy

I've never seen The Post or The Paper.

”Journalists” are about as common as Instagram “models”.
