18. It's considered a comedy

and it does have quite a few damned funny moments (my favorite — a reporter says to chain-smoking editor Robert Duvall, "Jesus, Bernie, c'mon! My doctor found nicotine in my urine again!" to which Duvall replies, "Then keep your dick out of my ash tray").

But the film also poses an interesting question about journalistic ethics: To what extent should newspapers go to be right?

The question seems to be answered at the end, but movies aren't the Real World.
