Investigative journalist Carl Bernstein is calling on the media to do a better job covering special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
Speaking on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” with Brian Stelter on Sunday, Bernstein said the media is focused on the fighting over the report instead of its actual contents.
“I think we’ve made a big mistake in the press about how we’ve covered the Mueller report,” Bernstein said. “We’ve gotten totally wrapped up in the warfare in the Congress between Republicans and Democrats and is there obstruction of justice or is there not obstruction of justice.”
Bernstein, best known for his reporting on the Watergate scandal, pointed to the evidence surrounding President Trump in the more than 400-page report.
“There are dozens and dozens of leads in there about Trump’s business dealings, things having to do with women as well that we know about from elsewhere…about his business dealings, about oligarchs, about money laundering, about Ponzi schemes,” he said.
Bernstein implored the press to do a better job of making clear to Americans the connection between Trump’s actions and the direction of the country.
“We are not making, in the press, the connections between what’s going on in the country and Donald Trump, the president,” Bernstein said. “We need to be covering the country as well and what people are talking about, thinking about, saying at the dinner table and connecting them to what is going on in Washington and in his campaign.”
The Mueller report was first delivered to Attorney General William Barr in March, who released a four-page summary of the special counsel's nearly two years of work to Congress.
Barr then gave a news conference widely covered by the media before publicly releasing a redacted version of the Mueller report.
Mueller will testify before Congress regarding the contents of his report this month.
Bernstein, you’re a liberal.
Thinking is not even close to what you do.
The day after Trump gets re-elected these people are going to be jumping off ledges.
Bernstein = nonsensical.
Because it was patently obvious it was a false allegation. If the media continued running with it, I suspect the high bar for slander/libel would have been met, and Trump probably would have had no reservations about suing.
I believe she was committed for being mentally ill.
Bernstein needs to do a better job of taking his Meds and not try to escape the Assisted Living Facility, he’s clearly showing signs of Dementia
Which one was Bernstein?
Was he Robert Redford or was he Dustin Hoffman?
Hahahahaha!!!!
Bernstein is like a the small town high school football star, who made the play that won the big game against Milhous High during his senor year. You know him. He's the guy who never did anything since then. For 40 years he's been hanging around town, frequenting the bars, and reliving the "big game" as snickering barflies ply him with drink.
What is it about American Jews, Marxism/Communism, and so-called 'liberalism'? The idea that the Soviets saved the Jews from the Nazi's, or that Nazi's and Marxists/Communists are at opposite poles of the political spectrum is inane and destructive. I have a Jewish background, and I entirely understand the motivation to prevent the conditions that led to the Holocaust from happening again. That said, supporting the left is MORE likely to lead to that, not less. Anti-Semitism is rampant in socialist Europe.
The 'Treaty of Non-Aggression' that the USSR and Nazi Germany entered into before the war agreed to split Poland in two, and give several Baltic nations to the USSR. It's only after Hitler betrayed the USSR and invaded that the Soviet's entered the war. They didn't enter the war to 'free' Europe.
There's a reason 2 million Jews left the USSR between 1960 and 1991. American Jews need to understand, admit, and accept that Marx was a Jew in name only, and Marxism is an idiotic philosophy constructed by a resentful self-centered man.
“Glory days, they’ll pass you by....Glory Days...,”
More political games and leaks to the msm by the FBI. FBI deputy director William Mark Felt, Sr. aka Deep Throat.
This bernstein nitwit whose only productive moment (if that) was the watergate BS. What a loon. Only those who are fellow lunatics read his spew.
As I remember it, Bernstein was the experienced writer; Woodward, the investigator.
He’s still a dim-witted hanger-on.
In the movie, “All the President’s Men”, who played Woodward and Bernstein?
Right away I said Robert Redford (Bob Woodward)! But, who played the “other” guy? I didn’t remember. I couldn’t remember.
Was it Paul Newman? No, that was a different movie starring Robert Redford.
I had to break down and check the Internet to see who it was. (Dustin Hoffman). Many of you younger folks, who never watched “the Graduate” or know “Mrs. Robinson” by “Simon & Garfunkel” are still saying “WHO”? Garfunkel WHO? What’s a Garfunkel? Is that something on the bottom of your boat?
Just like “Art imitates life”, “Life imitates art”.
In this case, just like the movie, The real “Star” of this duo is Robert Redford, I mean Bob Woodward. Dustin Hoffman got second billing and I’ll bet no one went to see that movie to see Carl Bernstein, I mean Dustin Hoffman.
“Yep. He never accomplished anything after “All the president’s men”
Not true!
He was the subject of a fun book and movie!
He was played by Jack Nickolson!!! IIRC?
HEARTBURN
In one chapter, Ephron wrote that her husband would be ‘capable of having sex with a Venetian blind.’ Bernstein never lived it down.

Nora Ephron, I enjoyed her writing.
“Just like “Art imitates life”, “Life imitates art””
It was “ART” Garfunkel, by the way. The “Bernstein” of the duo. Paul Simon was the brains.
She’ll be back in October, 2020 - after some intensive coaching.
Woodward and Bernstein are two of the biggest frauds ever unleashed with fake news made up totally from uncorroborated hearsay and rumors.
And they finally convinced a dimwit to claim he was their Deep Throat source to give them a glimmer of respectability. Not one single news source bothered to interview Sir Dimwit as they all knew he was a bought and paid for stooge.
Not the first nor the last of Ben Bradlee’s Washington Post Bullshit Brigade of fabricated news.
Read David Horowitz on the Red Diaper baby phenomenon. One of the truly amazing things is that true believers were told to step down from arguing America should support Britain, and most did, when Stalin did his partnership with Hitler; talk about an agreement among poisonous snakes.
