Anyone seen "The Post" yet...? [View all]

My 80-something parents saw it today and they were blown away.
(Dad watches Faux news) and my mom calls me and says...omg, Trump and his "fake news" ... aaaagh!

I'm and old Journalist, worked in the newsroom before the Internet really took off... so I can't wait to see it.
Also, Meryl Streep hasn't ever done a bad move I don't think. So yeah, should be good.

Too bad our Milennialls (sp) won't give a shit enough to seek out the historical aspect of films like this...
