The Post: a film about a newspaper doing their job, for a change

Is The Post basically a film that lionizes the Washington Post for, ya know, actually doing their job for a change? I think I'll pass. 

The real story should be about how it came to be that we ended up under the impression that we have a 'free press'. As The Post shows, this 'free press' has to deliberate about actually telling us the fucking truth! How many times have stories NOT been published? Many, many times. THIS is the story. Propaganda by omission.

FYI: The Washington Post is now owned by richest-human-alive Jeff Bezos, who has a $600 million contract with the CIA. But yeh, free press!
