HARRY ROSENFELD: I happen to love this country. You know we're not a bunch of zanies out to bring it down!
These days, articles attacking the president come out all the time. While people may argue about them, no one accuses the writers of attempting to "bring down" the government. In the 70's, it was a different story. The presidency was a hallowed institution.

BRADLEE: You know the results of the latest Gallup Poll? Half the country never even heard of the word "Watergate." Nobody gives a s***.
For all the "we love America" sentiment many Americans have, it seems that not many of them actually know or care about what is happening in the country. That's an alarming statistic.
Quote #6

This is one of Bradlee's final lines, ending the movie on a truly patriotic note. You can practically see the silhouette of a flag and a bald eagle in the sky behind him.
