Why people recommend it
All the President's Men by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward is a classic work of investigative journalism detailing the reporting process behind the Watergate scandal that brought down Richard Nixon's presidency. Tucker Carlson briefly mentioned a book by Donald Trump that featured a notable photograph, while Matt Taibbi referenced Bernstein and Woodward's work on The Megyn Kelly Show to contrast modern reporting with an era when journalists were intensely cautious about sourcing. Wagner Moura discussed the book on Pod Save America, noting that it romanticized his early understanding of journalism and highlighting the ongoing importance of institutions like The Washington Post. Conversely, Nick Bryant offered a stark critique on The Shawn Ryan Show, dismissing the famous account as fiction that has mistakenly been embraced as reality. On The Book Review, Pamela Paul, Gilbert Cruz, and Jonathan Karp compared modern behind-the-scenes reporting on Harvey Weinstein to the investigative blueprint established by All the President's Men, which Karp credited with giving investigative journalism a permanent voice in modern culture.
