Actor Tom Hanks has come under fire from conservative commentators after he said that he would refuse to screen his new film 'The Post' at the White House. Hanks and Meryl Streep star in the Steven Spielberg film which tells the story of the Washington Post's battle with Richard Nixon's administration to uncover and publish secret government records on the US's failing war-effort in Vietnam. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Hanks said, "Right now, without a doubt, there are people in power trying to ? if not quash or stop the right to publication, [then at least] denigrate it to the point [where] they are saying there is no truth to it whatsoever."
