THE NEWSPAPERMAN: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BEN BRADLEE
HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET
This new documentary is a biography of the famous Washington Post editor who presided over both Watergate and the Pentagon Papers. The latter case is the subject of a brand new movie, with Tom Hanks starring as Bradlee in The Post – and the former case inspired one of the best movies on the media and politics every made, 1976’s All the President’s Men, starring Jason Robards as Bradlee. Watching this documentary, then that latter movie, would be a superb double feature… so stay tuned. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
