Prove she didnt sleep with a FBI agent. Or piss off. I think the phrase you were looking for is, We couldnt exonerate her.

I mean really, who would think women journalist or career FBI, or aspiring California AG’s, or even interns for that matter, would ever use sex to get what they want. That’s just ridiculous.

How about this timeless catch-all from former Duke University President Richard Brodhead regarding the lacrosse team: “Whatever they did was bad enough.”

In real life the jackal reporter was a well known party hardy bar fly in town . I suspect they looked into her past before portraying her that way. I think there is a very good chance that her "honor" wouldn't stand up to much scrutiny.

"...saying the late journalist Kathy Scruggs (portrayed in the film by Olivia Wilde) did not sleep with an FBI source for information in real life."
If true, she's probably the one and only journalist who didn't.

The newspaper has a point. And this is something that has always bothered me. If you are going to cover an historical event as a movie, then stick to what actually happened. None of that misleading dramatization stuff.

Wow...I’m impressed by Warner Brothers. They must think this movie is going to bring in some bucks....I’ll bet Clint had some input in this too.

With her suing a LOT more people now know she might have “slept” with the guy.

I lived the drama and this Trollop was very sneaky and got information that was not readily available to the public.
Why did Cox pay out so much money and lose court battles? The AJC did not lose in the fact that they were charged with the wrong crime.

I saw
Midway yesterday; the only movie I've seen in the last 10 years or so.
Well worth the ticket price (but smuggle in your own snacks).
To: Secret Agent Man
How are they so certain it didnt happen? Hey, it's up to her to prove it didn't happen. Right?

So making it seem like all female reporters just sleep around to get stories was something they didnt need to do. I thought the movie only portrayed this reporter as having done so. Am I wrong?

The last movie I saw at a theater was “Gremlins”.
I popped a large bag of popcorn and brought a six pack of Dr. Pepper. It was a drive-in and my Daughter and I had a good time.
It was in Garden City, KS. The theater closed a week later.

If you write about a real person and put in erroneous info then it may be slander.
Eastwood has an ethical rep and he should comment about why this is in the movie. Is it factual not? The paper is saying it is not.

In this case, Im with the paper. There was no evidence at all that the reporter slept with a source. That was just some plot device. It would not hurt at all to put a disclaimer in saying this was fictionalized. The matter is open to speculation and the standard disclaimer language covers dramatic license. If that license is exercised in a way that casts politicians or journalists as whores, well, is that really a stretch? That's what really has the newspaper riled up - the broader inference.

They only say there is no evidence.
We know some female reporters have done this.
