Idiot culture?
You would think that someone talking on Idiot Culture would know that Bush, so far, is the ONLY president of this century.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
His comments were mainly about the media. and he is correct in part.
Pres. Bush IS a radical departure from Clinton. So such a "radical" change from pandering,etc. is not bad after all.

"Let's move beyond the absurd name-calling and sound bite journalism," he said. "It is our job ... to force a real debate." Well then, Mr. Bernstein, why did you have absurd name calling and sound-bite journalism in your speech?

Well, actually, Clinton was President for the first 19 days of this century.

This is just another example of an old-time elitist media guy. He whines that we are going to "hell in a handbasket" because we the people now have more news sources and are no longer restricted to opinions from him and his cocktail party media crowd. The Times They Are A-Changin' Carl. Get out of the way.

Yep, the belief in the United States as a sovereign entity with a capitalist economic system defending its own national interests sure is radical, ain't it?

Carl Berstein will forever be known as DEEP THROAT!
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Bernstein said Bush "is radical in every degree," from a favoritism of the wealthy to a pre-emptive foreign policy to a lack of concern for civil rights. "He certainly seems more ideological than any of our presidents," Bernstein said.
Radical. Ideological. Typical liberal tripe.
Even so, Bernstein said he hopes a genuine debate can take place this year about the future of the country, rather than the petty quarrels and meaningless accusations that so often dominate campaign coverage.
Yeah, wouldn't want them calling each other radical ideologues now, would we? Let's crawl out of the gutter already.
"Let's move beyond the absurd name-calling and sound bite journalism," he said. "It is our job ... to force a real debate."
You first. Go get em, tough guy.

And when Deep Throat dies, he said, "We will reveal him."Ugly truth. There never WAS any "Deep Throat". Before there was a Jayson Blair, there were Woodward and Bernstein. They just haven't been found out yet. Gossip, sensationalism and manufactured controversy did not appear in the news overnight. There has been a segment of journalism that has promoted and endorsed this approach since the first chronicles of current affairs began to be kept by mankind. Since about the time of the start of the Cold War, it has been a part of the culture of the New York Times, Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, the LA Times, and all the lesser lights of liberal journalism, and only because of vast amounts of moral capital they have squandered to cover their bias, have they kept their dirty little secrets.

"Bernstein ... calling President Bush "the most radical president of my lifetime and perhaps in the century."
"Bernstein said Bush "is radical in every degree,"
"Let's move beyond the absurd name-calling and sound bite journalism," he said. "
So the name caller wants to move beyond name calling. Typical lefty hypocracy. Not to calling someone who stands for traditional values a radical.

Nora Ephron's stormy marriage with Washington Post reporter
Carl Bernstein provided grist for her book,
Heartburn, which she adapted into a 1986 film.
The movie is about a woman who chooses love and family over her successful career as a magazine writer but her playboy husband, a newspaper columnist, can't give up his cheating ways, even during her pregnancy.

When was the last time we lost 3,000 people on our own soil Mr. POS Bernstein?

Bernstein is an Imbedded Reporter as another USEFUL IDIOT of the Communist Media! Waste a few minutes and check out his past...he is a follower of Lenin-Stalin- and all the other assorted murderers of freedom!

A case of the pot calling the kettle black. Berstein has been living on his plot with Woodward all these years. It is as phony as Kerry support from foreign leaders.
Not too suprising really since he was working for the Washington Compost at the time.

Carl Bernstein's career went downhill after his wife, Nora Ephron, wrote the "fictional" book, Heartburn, detailing how he cheated on her during her pregnancy.
