I've read the book and seen the movie. The most insufferable part of the Woodward & Berstein saga is how they were spoon-fed every part of the story by Mark Felt and yet they're held up as this paragon of journalism. It wasn't like they made any big breakthroughs on their own. They took this unbelievable piece of professional luck and turn it into a half-century grift where every couple of years they appear on some news show to say the latest scandal is "worse than Watergate."
