Carl Bernstein: Trump’s Media Attacks ‘More Treacherous’ than Nixon’s
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/19/2017 3:39:26 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Just when you thought the MSM might be running out of hyperbole about President Trump’s criticism of the media, along comes Carl Bernstein . . .

On CNN’s Reliable Sources today, Bernstein unleashed a torrent of accusations about the president.

Lowlights:

Trump’s attacks on the media “more treacherous” than Nixon’s.

Apophasis alert: “I’m not about to say anything comparing Hitler and Trump”, but Hitler and Stalin also used the phrase “enemy of the people” about the media.

Trump is “leading a demagogic attack on the institutions of free democracy.”

“This is a terrible time we’re living in.”

“Carl blowing smoke out his butt again”

His former wife Nora Ephron, had written many interesting observations about him.Including his possible involvement with ‘venetian blinds’.

She never mentioned the smoke thing?

I see his son turned out to be a vile and demented douchebag just like the father.

Bernstein sure did milk his relevance with his role in the Watergate story back in 1972. They were successful to a degree in hounding Nixon out of office. But this is a different time and a different president. It will not work this time. Soon Bernstein will find that out.

How do I remember the tragedy of the demise of President Nixon. A fifth rate burglary and an amateurish attempt to bug the conference of the Democrats. Nixon, loyal as ever, simply tried a cover-up. He paid the penalty for something minor and not even approaching other sins of other presidents. Bernstein should be ashamed of himself.

I will never forget the words of the former president, Richard Nixon, as he left.

If you hate those that hate you.
Then they have won!

There were those who called themselves “journalists” who wanted to impeach Nixon in his first term (long before Watergate).

Same @$%# different day.

They wanted to get Reagan too. And the second Bush.

The peaceful transfer of power ended in this country sometime in the 1950s. Democrats don’t like Republican victories and steal elections or attempt to take down (R) presidents when they are rejected at the polls.

Who decreed that the biased and ultra-liberal press is an institution of democracy in this republic?

I think we now know where Shia gets his ‘ranting points’ from for his video feed.

Berstein and his fellow socialists have no shame. They will continue their charade about being fair and balanced. It is up to us to call them out on it time and time again.

Sweden Statistics on Rape and they keep denying it! Tucker Carlson did a show on Sweden Rapes Feb 17, 2017, just like Trump said; Fox News. So I looked up problems and found those statistics!

Nora Ephron recounts in great detail how Carl claimed to be getting root canal work done at the dentist every afternoon for weeks on end. In fact, he was the one doing the drilling of his lady love. It ended their marriage.

I think Carl also stole a horse drawn carriage and raced it through Central Park. I believe alcohol was involved.

He’s a loser who got lucky to be used by the shadow government. Investigative reporter? LOL
