#BobWoodward.

#CarlBernstein.

#BenBradlee.

#KatharineGraham.

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.

These people were giants, and now the nation and the media are owned and run by malignant gnats. 

The pump don’t work ‘cause the vandals took the handles.
