Before Watergate, Mark Felt first gave Bob Woodward information about the Wallace shooting in Laurel.

So many lies, so little time." How should the press cover someone who lies constantly like President Trump? That was one of the questions posed by host Brian Stelter to Carl Bernstein, Margaret Sullivan and David Zurawik on "Reliable Sources" Sunday.

The timing of the The Post's release — at the peak of the "#MeToo" movement against male sexual harassment in the workplace — appears more fortuitous than intentional. The film is more a declaration of women's arrival and progress against gender inequality in the news media and elsewhere.

Donald Trump's ranting tweets unmask him as a bitter, small-minded, narcissistic and misogynistic liar.

In the years since the seminal arrest of five burglars inside DNC headquarters at the Watergate complex, a myth has grown about the undoing of a president.

Donald Trump's "Russia thing" may be Watergate deja vu, says Jules Witcover.

Mainstream media organizations should sit with those who distrust them and address their concerns, says Cal Thomas.

From cable news employees sharing questions with Democrat Hillary Clinton in advance of TV town halls and debates, to executives making their airwaves endlessly available to Donald Trump for phone "interviews" that the Republican candidate controlled, the media have never performed less responsibly in a modern-era presidential election.

Presidential candidates griping about media coverage should get out of the kitchen if they can't stand the heat.

When David Simon first contacted William F. Zorzi in the fall of 2001 about the book "Show Me a Hero," Simon's former Baltimore Sun colleague says he was mainly annoyed.

With a new David Simon miniseries, "Show Me a Hero," set to debut Aug. 16, HBO today announced that it was ordering two more pilots from the creator of "The Wire."

The death of the famous Washington Post editor is a loss to journalism

Nixon's biggest mistake was thinking he could get away with what other politicians had done, but forgetting that the rules are different for Republicans
