Although, often investigative reporters can come across as pushy and rude, their job is to recognize the truth and to reveal it in any way possible. These two men acted on their gut feelings and used any tactic to prove to the nation there was a government conspiracy. Di

Were Bernstein and Woodward "watch dogs" of freedom? They defied the natural tendency of man to give up in the face of opposition, and broke one of the most difficult cases in the nation's history. It was their investigation that shed light on the dark side of Nixon's presidency. They secured the freedom of the American people to have the right of truth.
