These people, and others at the #WashingtonPost, were heroes to me when I was 18 years old in 1974, watching their work bring down #Nixon and his cadre of thugs.

This was long before the movie, the accolades, and the judgement of history. I was still a teenager, but I knew right from wrong.

And I know Jeff #Bezos isn’t fit to scrub their toilets.

Which is a more honorable job than anything he has done, or ever will do.

Watched "Becoming Katharine Graham" last night. What a titan of journalism! She is sorely missed these days, that's for sure. 📰

Disappointed to find out that "All The President's Men" left her out almost completely. "The Post" rectified that a bit. Kudos to Warren Buffett for getting her props with this doc. Now to check out her memoir "Personal History". 📖

All the President’s Men Took Katharine Graham Out of the Washington Post’s History. The Post Puts Her Back In.

And played by Meryl Streep, to boot.

Watch "Becoming Katharine Graham" 📺

"Becoming Katharine Graham tells the story of a painfully shy woman's accidental rise to power and how it changed history. After a family tragedy, Kay evolved from a "doormat wife" into a legendary newspaper publisher. Nixon's nemesis during Watergate, she fought for truth, broke barriers in a sexist world, and won a Pulitzer Prize, inspiring generations with her courage and resilience."
