One of the most quoted lines from the movie All the President's Men (an adaptation of the Woodward and Bemstein book chronicling their
investigation of Watergate) is the advice given by an “off the record* source whose pseudonym is Deep Throat: “Follow the money.” Tracing bank
fecords, cash donations, other means of funneling money to the Committee to Re-elect the President, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein ultimately
made the link between the Watergate burglars and Nixon's re-election campaign. Nixon resigned after being impeached. (Refer to Chapter 13,
Mightier Than the Sword.) What existing situation or practice may have big money backing that is concealed from average citizens? In their obligation
to monitor power, what has mainstream media reported about the financial support of big corporations or wealthy individuals to situations and
commercial practices that are dangerous or unhealthy or corrupt or a threat to democracy? Explain and provide how you found what you know and
provide an annotated listing of best sources.
