Alicia Shepard says in a chat: "The fact that W&B [
Bob Woodward and
Carl Bernstein] had time makes all the difference in the world. The fact that there were only three network channels and many newspapers created a smaller, more intense, more closely followed media universe. Today, the media world is too big and people get their news and information from so many disparate sources, that I don't think there could ever be another Woodward & Bernstein." ||
