Deep Throat was Mark Felt and he was the whistle blower in the Watergate scandal. He was the person who talked to Bob Woodward in the parking ramp at night when nobody was around. He knew because he was the Associate director of the FBI. They called him Deep Throat in order to keep it anonymous.
Woodward and Bernstein started reporting a story about a break in to the democratic headquarters and when they dug deeper into the story they found out more people were involved. They went to houses, offices, made calls and visited people in private places in order to get what information they had to offer. Some of their articles would get published along the way but nothing was as big as their last article which had the whole story to it because of Mark Felt. Some of the higher up people got mad when they were stuck or didn't write something the right way but they still kept trying to get more sources to make their article credible and sufficient. After they printed some smaller articles which started to make people wonder how well they can trust the government, they printed a big article that was the front page which had the whole story to the Watergate scandal in it. This sparked outrage with the republicans who lied but later on Woodward and Bernstein were right and Nixon and some other people involved in Watergate resigned. If it wasn't for their reporting we may not even know anything about Watergate and other presidents may have cheated as well because people would have been oblivious to it just as they were during Watergate.

Katie's spring break was filled with fun and going places
Katie went to Minnesota over spring break and shopped at the Mall of America and that was her favorite part of spring break. She hung out with her friends a lot and she went to a party because it was her birthday. During her birthday she had a lot of pizza and she got full. During spring break she got her ears pierced because it was her birthday. She saw a movie with friends at the movie theater. Her favorite part of Minnesota was getting new stuff because it was for her birthday. ''I think Minnesota is better than Iowa but I don't like the drive.'' Katie said. She also made a fire during spring break ''Don't have a fire in the woods.'' Katie said because it was hard to put out. Katie thought her spring break was a little bit boring but for the most part it was pretty fun. Her favorite memory from spring break was buying stuff in Minnesota and hanging out with friends at her birthday party. She was really excited to get her ears pierced over break and she did this after Minnesota. She liked the movie she saw and said it was a really good movie. She hung out with with friends throughout most of break except for Minnesota when she was with her family. She didn't do any extra curricular activities over break. She is going to miss spring break because she liked how relaxing it is and how she could sleep in and have fun with friends and not have to do work at school. At the party she hung out with friends, ate pizza and had a lot of fun. Her birthday was her 2nd best part of spring break because she likes hanging out with friends and likes pizza which is her favorite food. Now she will have to wait 365 days for next years spring break but this one was one that will stick with her forever.

The article Hack Heaven seems fake and things don't add up in it. I understand that they would want to hire people that know what they are doing but why would they hire somebody who hacked their own website and could have made people not want to use their website. That would be like a Basketball team hiring a coach who spied on them to see their plays the year before and it would promote hacking into their website so they can get money and a job. Another reason it seems fake is that some of the things he is doing are probably illegal such as freezing a companies bank account and if somebody found out about that it would not be good for their company so why would they let someone put that in an article. Another thing that doesn't add up is why would they let someone report on how their website so so weak and vulnerable that a typical 15 year old kid could hack into it and to top it off get a high paying job after doing it. Honestly I don't understand why people believed this article because it has many flaws to it, or maybe it is just that I know it is fake and I am searching for flaws and it goes to show that people can be ignorant about what they believe just because it was in a newspaper. The article seems far fetched and but I guess if a big time newspaper published it and a well known writer wrote it.
