Will people please stop adding unsourced production companies? We have a source from Variety Insight for them. I'm getting incredibly annoyed at having to constantly clean up this article. See this consensus that production companies need to be properly sourced and should not be based on primary sources, such as posters, trailers, and other promotional material.

I know what I'm talking about. You just need to chill out. Check out IMDB. There's your fuckin' source.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Radiation15 ( talk • contribs) 18:27, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

09:54, 10 November 2017 (UTC)References 8 and 9 don't actually mention Nixon, and only ref 9 mentions Trump - and not in the way suggested here. They state that because the film came together in such a short timeline, it is one of the first releases to "respond to" the Trump presidency. As for alluding to Nixon - the film doesn't allude to Nixon, it deals with his presidency directly - and, in a broader sense, you could say that this focus on Nixon *alludes* to Trump -- but that's not what these references are saying. find better sources please, or strike the line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.214.226.1 ( talk) 02:19, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
The article mentions the that the movie explores the difficulty of making decisions that seem clear 40 years later. Is there any information that could be added about how accurate that part of the movie is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpearl ( talk • contribs) 05:02, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
This article is linked to "The Papers" in Henry James' article.
The opening describes the film as a "political thriller." The term thriller tends to refer to movies filled with action and/or physical danger. I think "political drama" would be better description. — MiguelMunoz ( talk) 22:23, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
What is the relevance of the Wash. Post's activities in regard to the Pentagon Papers? Might as well do a movie on the LA times activities in regard to the Pentagon Papers. Only the NY Times activities were relevant in regard to the Pentagon Papers. So the reader of Wikipedia walks away from this article as puzzled as before reading it. Very common experience across the US media/press landscape. Rtdrury ( talk) 01:56, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
