They just call him Bernie because of the last name. He is actually Al Bernstein.

So there's a real person, named Al "Bernie" Bernstein, who works for the Washington Post, robo-calling women in Alabama to dig up (pay for) dirt on Judge Roy Moore?

If that's the case, which seems possible but stupid to me, I think I'm going to get off the fence and bet on Judge Roy Moore to win.
