The Best Newspaper Drama since All the Pres. Men and its Gets 5.1...a Shame.
by danew13 β€’ 2018-08-07
9/10

"The film of the expose of an impending fraud surrounding the run up to the Iraq War by the Knight Ridder News Service is itself as expose of how ignorant people were kept at the time. And the fact no one in the GW Bush Admin carried the can for the war and no impeachment took place does not bode well for our political system, Rob Reiner's film accuratelly tell a story that few at the time wanted to know and many wanted to forget after the bloody mess was over. It is a warning to America for the future...."
