Mrs. W
Today in the movie the reporters were trying to confirm Halderman as the 5th person who controlled the campaign funds of Nixon to pay off the people of Watergate. Mitchell was the attorney general and was Nixon's campaign manager, who paid off the people of Watergate. Stans also helped cover campaign funds. Woodstein got the facts by going from place to place and asking different sources for the truth. Our segment ended with the paper printing the paper blowing out Watergate and then the republicans got very upset and bashed the paper.
Mitchell, Stans and Halderman are people involved with the money in the watergate conspiracy.
Woodstein developed their information from Deep Throat, and by going from door to door to the people on the list they got from the ladies. The segment ended with news reporters telling everyone that the Washington Post was wrong and their whole story was a lie.
They are people involved in the scandal. Woodstein got to the facts through other people and some were the actual facts.

John M. was one of the conspirators that gave out the money and was the attorney general of white house. Halderman is an aid to the president who is high up in the white house. Stans is a fence who tracked down democrats and kept taps on there actions. Woodstien found all this out by tracing the money and the FBI search to these people. They were denied and told all this was untrue by the conspirators
Today in the movie the reporters found out more information on the Watergate scandal. Mitchell, Stans, and Halderman were all mainly involved with handling the money in the scandal. Woodstein got their facts from many different sources also involved in the scandal. They were the facts, but when the Washington Post printed the story, each person who was interviewed denied that they were spoken to. So now the Washington Post was said to have the wrong story.
John Mitchell was United States Attorney General under President Nixon. Haldeman was the White House Chief of Staff to President Nixon. Stans was the finance chairman for the Committee to Re-elect President Nixon. "Woodstein" got the facts by going to many different sources. They were also very creative in uncovering the truth. They knew what to say to people to convince them to give information of Watergate. Their information that was published in the Washington Post was true, even though people who were sources denied the accusations. The segment ended with people being upset with the Washington Post, and many people such as Stans, Mitchell, & Halderman were being interviewed and interrogated.
Since my last comment is illegal in this country, here is my response: Woodward and Bernstein were questioning many different people trying to get any information that may lead them to proof or evidence. One thing they were looking to get out of people was a confirmation that Halderman was the last person who received money. Stans was in charge of the financing to re-elect Nixon, and Mitchell was just about the second most important man in the US. We left the movie when no one was believing the Washington Post's story.
Mitchell Stans and Halderman were thought to be a part of the watergate scandal. Woodstein got their facts by meeting and talking to several people. The information was fact, but the people form which they gathered information would deny the information in front of the cameras in order to protect themselves. When we left the story, the Washington Post was being accused of having inaccurate information
All of theses men where in on the Watergate scandal, they were all sources they needed in their article. It was very hard for them to get their information because the people they were interviewing were scared so they had to get there answers by for example asking them to stay on the line (phone) if the person they suspected was involved or not.
Today in the movie, Woodward and Bernstein finally got to the bottom of the Watergate Scandal. They published the story, but all the people mentioned in the story denied anything that happened. Some of the people who did this were John Mitchell, Stans and Halderman. The were all involved in the money misplacement. Woodward and Bernstein used clever ways to get the facts from their sources. The sources didn't want to give away too much information, but they still got the facts from them. Woodward and Bernstein eventually got the whole story correct. This segment of the movie ended with John Mitchell, Stans and Halderman all being angry with the Washington Post.
Mitchell, Stans, and Haldermen were all thought to be part of the watergate incident. They denied the information that Woodstein found in front of cameras so they would not get in trouble. The segment ended by the Washington Post being accused of having wrong information
John Mitchell, Stans, and Halderman were all accused of being involved with the Watergate scandal. Woodstein got his information from Deepthroat and by going door-to-door of the people on the list of names they had. The segment ended with reporters asking if the story in the Washington Post was true; and it was denied. Lots of people became angry. But what they didn't know was that it was actually true.
