When I was 11 years old, a babysitter took me to see All the President’s Men. I think she was in love with Robert Redford. But that afternoon, I fell in love with journalism - and the ideals of the crusading Washington Post. Maybe that was a Hollywood fantasy. But the WaPo remained my ideal all through my own journalism career. What a bathetic end to a legacy of excellence. Democracy dies in cowardice, it would appear. #WashingtonPost #WaPo
