Long MysteryEssay Preview: Long MysteryReport this essayLong MysteryBob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were two young reporters trying to figure out a mystery that took a long to be solved in the movie All the Presidents Men. “The newsroom where the reporters worked during investigations was always bright, open, a place of truth” (Thomas, Evan, Andrew Nurr, and Eleanor Cliff par.1). The newsroom was exciting, the constant sound of typing, printing, ringing telephones, televisions, and news chatter were all different things that was going on. The two young hungry journalists from the Washington Post were trying to uncover a scandal involving a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters. They quickly learn the break-in was not a simple burglary but a planned wiretapping scheme organized by the Committee to Re-elect the President which was President Nixon at the time. In the movie there was so much energy, tension and hunger in the people once they started to see that they were catching onto something super big and who might actually be involved in the robbery.
Bernstein and Woodward were pioneers of this genre of reporting, sticking their reputations, jobs, and lives on the line in order to reveal the truth. They also put their full trust in Mark Felt which was claimed to be Deepthroat. He was Woodwards source who supplied them with crucial information in developing the story about the break in. Deepthorat was a former FBI associate director. Deepthroat couldnt share everything he knew, he would only steer Woodward in the right direction and leave much work up to he and Bernstein. Deepthroat protected his identity while supplementing the investigation with information about President Nixon. Nixon and fellow members of the United States Government were a part of the biggest cover up in the United States history.
The CIA said they had information that the American people were being systematically and aggressively surveilled by the Soviet Union and KGB. The CIA then started demanding to see the “intelligence” on the Soviets that it felt were being abused.
They said we were being monitored by a spy agency based on the intelligence of the FBI about some of our meetings with Russians. They threatened to withhold certain information. They also threatened to use this information as a cover to try to discredit our campaign! We knew when that happened, we were being targeted by the Soviets.
It was a pretty dark year for the US as a country but I think we will be able to keep a tight grip on this world as time goes on.
When it was time for the war on drugs, all we really wanted was to win. The war has been going on ever since. We had a long and brutal war on drugs, and many different countries have been losing. And we are taking our time to get there. The Bush Administration, they have spent thousands of millions of dollars trying to make the war on drugs successful. If we do the right thing, this country will be able to win this bloody and long-running fight.
And this is where I come in.
This is going to be an epic and difficult battle going on for America that won’t get much attention, especially on the streets, but we have to fight harder to win. We also have to fight harder for democracy and for everyone involved the whole time, whether you are Democrats or Republicans, we have to be our own kind of people, and we have to fight for our common interests. That is going to be the whole story.
The main point I want to make today is that a lot of people outside of politics, both those in the media and those on the street, feel they are being lied to about all the major issues facing the American people. The problem is there is no truth in it and I think we can do better of going to the polls and to win to stop this. It is not a matter if we have the courage; it is a matter how we come to understand things. We have to educate ourselves on the issues; we have to educate ourselves on the whole country’s politics and about what this means for the country as a whole. This is where there is so much conflict. And we have just gotta get through it.
I want to take a moment to talk to former FBI director James Comey, who was instrumental in bringing the criminal case against Bush the wrong way, to show you something that we haven’t gone far in the last several years. It is easy to be misled when you are in private and in front of the world that you never see the truth when you are in public life. The President has said so many things that have really changed public consciousness

Through a series of questions and searching and help from the inside (Deepthroat), the reporters were able to crack the case. This brings up a bigger question. Dirty politics, is it all right to go to this extent to diminish your opponent. Are we not all supposed to be on the same side? We are all a part of the United States of America. This brings me to the current example in Mitt Romney; just recently he was caught in the news saying contradictory things that he says in most speeches. He said this because he was unaware he was being videotapes. Should dirty politics stop, or should more respectable politicians start running for office. If dirty politics stopped then we could have a cleaner and more legitimate democracy, one that still mirrors the interests and of its people but that generates less hatred.
