These people, and others at the #WashingtonPost, were heroes to me when I was 18 years old in 1974, watching their work bring down #Nixon and his cadre of thugs.
This was long before the movie, the accolades, and the judgement of history. I was still a teenager, but I knew right from wrong.
And I know Jeff #Bezos isn’t fit to scrub their toilets.
Which is a more honorable job than anything he has done, or ever will do.

@randywalters@mastodon.cloud I became a newspaper reporter in the '90s, and they were my heroes too.
