Going to see Truth this afternoon. Only playing at two theaters in Raleigh/Durham area.

Anybody seen it? No spoilers (well, we know the outcome) but what did you think?

Very interesting to see the story--which is based upon her book that she wrote after
she was fired from CBS (and never worked in TV news again).

She has an amazing speech near the end of the movie--delivered to the witch hunt
investigation panel--and it really hits home.

I saw Rachel Maddow's interview with Dan Rather recently. I found it quite telling
that he said that through it all, Bush and the White House never denied the truth
of the story: all they did was throw mud on the questionable authenticity of the documents.
