All President’s Men and Spotlight are films about two important scandals of corruption that affected two powerful American institutions: the government and the Catholic church. However, both films instead of focusing on the scandals themselves, they narrate it from the perspective of the journalists who investigate both cases. As Renée Loth says in one of her articles “both films are talky, true-life procedurals about the grinding, essential work of investigative journalism”. They are about the…

Or make changes that they did not see significant because those with wealth did not experience all the struggles that were faced by the rest of the population. Major reform efforts of the…

Not only does administrative discretion create a conflict of interest, but it also creates corruption in the system if they use it for personal gain. In Senator Menendez’s case, the problem that it had before the mistral is that it was not clear enough to decide if this case was an act on corruption or was it just a friend helping another friend out.
