1. Mary is a producer of 60 Minutes. She, along with anchor Dan Rather, was accused of using inaccurate information in a story about preferential treatment received by George W. Bush in the 1970s by the Texas Air National Guard.
2. The reporters didn’t confirm the validity of the documents they used to back up their claims that Bush received preferential treatment.
3. The reporters in charge of the story kept pressing the story, regardless of the red flags that presented. They also bullied sources into confirming the story.
4. No, reporters should not let their political stance enter their professional lives. Don’t editorialize.
Edit, 16:07: Apparently I did this wrong, I was supposed to review it. Alright, here it goes. The movie was very fast paced which is not something I particularly enjoy unless the plot calls for it. Documents from the '70s are only so exciting and the movie didn't seem to be aware of this fact. The speech at the end I thought was a tad over the top, again I think because of the American moviegoers need for action in every movie. I give it 6/10.
